CONFETTI
MEAT LOAF
Here is a way to add color and interest
to everyday meat loaf. Talking about color. Our ground beef is treated, I believe, which gives it a very red color that doesn't really disappear upon cooking (CLICK HERE to read). This meat loaf is fully cooked. I can find ground beef here that is not treated that way, so when I made a Crepe Lasagna with the red ground beef and it just didn't look great, I had to buy the other ground beef and redo the recipe, and then it looked better. So, please, cut me some slack here...my ground beef meat loaf is fully cooked. LOL
