There has been a ton of really cool CI stuff going around again recently and quite a lot of it has been Italian themed. I've also seen a few meatloaf threads that looked super good. Hmmm...how to combine the two? Y'all know that if there's something weird to cook, I'll try to figure it out. You also know I've done a few interesting and unique meals. This one is right at the top of the list for interesting and unique. What also worked out well is that it tasted amazing!!
Start by making the meatloaf mix. Half pound of ground pork, garlic, oregano, basil, 1 egg white, Italian bread crumbs, black pepper, salt, and green onions
Next I make up some more of the panko crusted tomatoes I did with that crazy pizza recently. Thought they'd make a great side dish
Boil the pasta, drain it, toss with my garlic EVOO and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Add pasta to the skillets
Make large patties out of the meatloaf mix and put on top of the pasta
Add homemade marinara
A ton of fresh shredded mozz and sprinkle with parsley
Onto the grill and cover with the pizza dome
Panko crusted tomatoes on the griddle
Progress check on the skillets. Looking really good so far!!
Tomatoes all done and sitting off to the side to keep warm
Everything done. Ready to sit down and eat
Plated. This looks fantastic thus far. Now to see what it tastes like
Another one for the record books. This was one of the most outrageous meals I've done but it was also one of the best. Both of us just loved it!! The inspiration came from all the good folks here and the fusion of different things seemed viable so I decided to run with it. Glad I did!! Sorry no pic of it cut open. When I tried to get one all the cheese just kept running down and covering everything so that's all you could see. The panko tomatoes were outrageous. Tracy was not here when I did the pizzas not long ago but I thought she'd like these. That was a good (and lucky) guess on my part. She just asked that next time I use less panko. That's fine. Our friend Ray (

) just did a similar style of dish and everybody raved about browning the cheese the way he did and I had to agree with them. His looked amazing so I decided follow Ray's lead and go a bit darker with the cheese than I typically would have. OMG!! That was nothing short of awe inspiring!! Thank you Ray.
Well this one is a wrap. Thanks again for dropping in.
