Hmm, I like the sound of Vic's meat loaf.
As a variation, try putting half the tomato paste on top about halfway into the cooking, then the rest just before it comes out of the oven (a minute or so will do). The result is (with wheat flour instead of oat flour) hint of tomato through, but a distinct tomato topping.
As with any base you can add other flavours to suit your own taste, I guess some would go for adding loads of chillies to the mix, some might go for other spicy flavours, but I've often added a good handful of chopped herbs to give a sort of "Mediterranean" flavour, or done a herb crust - a paste made from herbs, coarse flour and water spread over the over the top, the finished under the grill.
The basic meat loaf is such a versatile base...

I love chopped green chile in mine, I can never get enough of it.

A variant of meatloaf is cabbage rolls.
My girlfriend's favorite.

Meatloaf was always one of my favorite meals as a kid....
Usually meatloaf, mashed potatoes with butter, and green beans.
Smother the meatloaf in ketchup, and I was a happy camper.

And then there were the leftover meatloaf sandwiches...yummy as well.

Mark that is how I love to eat meatlaof also. Mashed potatoes with a ton of butter and loads of ketchup.

@Vic, Thanks for that link. I printed it out. Im going to give that a try sometime in the future.
@janneseti, That sounds very good also. I love corned beef and cabbage, I think meatloaf wrapped wit cabbage would be great also.

I like rice mixed in with the meatloaf mix.

I think cabbage rolls typically are a beef/pork mixture with rice as the soaker-upper. As opposed to meatloaf which is typically all beef with breadcrumbs or oatmeal as the soaker-upper.
I happen to like cabbage rolls as well as meatloaf.

Obviously, as with most recipes, there are variants, modifications, and improvisations on both delicious main courses.

Lingonberries taste like cranberries.
How to make the jam.
300 g of cranberries
1 cup of sugar
1. Mix the cranberries with sugar.
2. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

KÃ¥ldolmar are Swedish cabbage rolls filled with a mix of minced pork and beef and in some cases rice.

Personally I exclude syrup and sugar in the filling.

I just made steaks with parsely potatoes and broccoli.

All this talk about meatloaf makes me want to try my hand at it. My mom made pretty serviceable meatloaf, and I'm sure she has her recipe written down. I just never have fixed it myself. Oatmeal sounds like an interesting ingredient to add.

I know we have been there. Where's the cookbook? Or where is it in the book? Well, since we have a online connection. I goto Cooks.com for some inspiration.

First time I ever had sprouts was in the UK back in the early 60's, I went nuts over them. I have them a lot now.

This is a recipe that I've used occasionally over the years. I have absolutely no idea where I got it. Makes sense that I picked it out of the newspaper or a magazine since I cannot recall it in connection with a specific person. I do know that it was used for school lunches when there was no bread in the house. It's best warm or very fresh!

3 cups self-rising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup beer

Sift flour with sugar in mixing bowl - add beer and mix thoroughly. Transfer to a greased loaf tin and bake for about 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Butter the top of the loaf when it comes out of the oven.

Be sure that you use self-rising flour or the results will not please you.

And don't use light beer. Has to be a normal beer of your preference.

That sounds sort of like an American version of Yorkshire pudding. Chris?

With 4 years spent in the Catering Industry, I found the best cleaning of stubborn pots & pans is to soak over night in a mix of salt & vinegar. Spotless pots & pans next morning. Still use that tip at home.
