Creole Meat Loaf

Submitted by breezermom

"This meat loaf is not spicy, despite the name. It is a mix of ground beef and pork, with a nice creole sauce on top. It originally came from an old Southern Living cookbook, but the recipe has been changed significantly since its publication. If you would like, put the cheese of your choice on the meatloaf before adding the creole sauce. Also, feel free to substitute creole seasoning for the salt and pepper!"

The sauce is so yummy. This is very different from all the meatloaf I made. Great taste. I cooked it 20 minutes more cause I wasn't sure it was ready. For the sauce I used diced tomatoes. Thanks breezermom :) Made for PRMR tag game

A very nice meatloaf, which the sauce added a wonderful zesty touch. My family really enjoyed it. Made for 2009 Spring PAC. Thanks for posting such a winning recipe, breezermom.

Definitely a five star! I prefer a free-form loaf instead of using a loaf pan, because then it cooks on three sides. I used beef and lamb (instead of pork), doubled the garlic in both the meat mixture and the sauce (we're all garlic fans), and used canned cherry tomatoes. And my search for meatloaf recipes is officially over. Thank you, breezermom.

As a person who dislikes meatloaf ( only pick this for my DH LOL) this was AWESOME. LOVE the creole sauce had a bit leftover so warmed it and poured over the slices. I made my own Creole seasoning and added some to the meat mixture also. I used red peppers since we don't like green and chopped it. The Creole sauce would go with so many other meats also Made for Photo Tag Jan 2009
