Meatloaf with Quinoa Polenta
It’s November and cooler weather calls out for old-fashioned comfort food. Well, for cryin’ out loud it’s Sunday and you may have a bit more time to prepare a special dinner. Prepare a “Comfort Food” dinner today!
You’ll make an ever-dependable meat loaf. I recommend plant-based ground meat product, but you may also use lean ground beef.
A homemade barbecue sauce topping is just the ticket to finish the loaf. Quinoa Polenta and lemon-buttered roasted cauliflower will round out the menu.
