Probably the Most Amazing Meatloaf EVER

So a few weeks after I make my meatloaf, Jeff finds this recipe. Now, as I'm drooling while looking at the image, I can't help stick up for my meatloaf. My meatloaf is hearty and gets the job done of filling your stomach, while this meatloaf is....well it's all gourmet. And you don't make gourmet meatloaf. That's just dumb.

Man was I wrong.

How it went down: 

This wasn't our usual 5-ingredients-are-best recipes. Look at how many ingredients there are! At this point I would have said it was too complicated and moved on with life. But Jeff was determined. (also I want it known that this started because of that package of pork that Jeff bought strictly because "it looked good")


So then Jeff spent about an hour finely chopping up all those veggies, until he got this


Which turned into this


Breadcrumbs were then added to the mix. Ok, at this point I was like "um...this looks like it's going to be one big meatloaf..."
"It'll be fine." Jeff's signature line.


Then it was time to touch the meat (and mix the veggie, breadcrumb into it...and there's an egg in there which is making it look funny)
At this point, I was like "we're going to be eating meatloaf forever"


This is Jeff's "eww, I'm touching meat face"



Then we poured it into the pan. And I was right. Look at that thing!! It's monsterous. That is a 13x9 1.5 inch thick meatloaf. This, we learned an hour later was a good thing.


Why was the fact that it was that big a good thing? Due to a combo of it being delicious (and by delicious i mean AMAZING) and us not knowing how to put down the fork, gave us six servings. SIX! We are massive pigs. But here's the thing: unlike regular meatloaf that is meaty and fills you up rather quickly, this was light. I'm pretty sure there was more veggies in that thing than anything else. So it was really to put that much of it away.
