myles' last resort meatloaf--graduate version |
|
|
Myles was my husband's college roommate. When they were both learning how to cook, Myles came up with this winner. We've eaten this for years, and gradually, I've updated a little here and there so that it doesn’t look so much like ‘dorm food.’
However, if you are in a hurry, leave out the layers of onion and mushrooms, and just chop everything up, mix together, dump it into a pyrex pan, pour the sauce over, and bake. Taste is the same—the layered version is just ‘prettier.’ When we have it, we also use Aunty Lilikoi's Passion Habanero Mustard, but plain old hot dog mustard works just fine. |
