Got any fennel seeds? Pork sausage almost always contains fennel seeds.

I do have fennel seeds. I keep stock because I use it for a chicken diavlo that I make. I believe the original recipe is actually clams diavlo.

Today is the day I make the meatloaf. I'm actually serving it for supper.
I'll repost the recipe with changes later.
I might put the loaf together before hand and keep it refrigerated.

oh wow it's so good. This is the revised recipe.

Recipe

2 Egg; beaten
almost 2 cups Dry bread crumbs.
3 sl bacon torn into pieces
1 sm Chopped onion
2.5-3 oz Cubed cheddar. I used Hoffmans
1/2 ts Seasoned salt
1/2 ts Pepper
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork

Preheat oven to 350

Combine. Form into loaf. Brush a very small layer of bbq on top and
take 2 additional whole pieces of bacon and cut it into a few pieces for each slice. Put that on top. bake until no pink
remains. I cooked mine for an hour and a half.

I'm glad you liked it!

Now you have a keeper of a recipe and can experiment with variations.

You'll be giving up a lot of flavor by eliminating the sausage.

I don't like sausage. My DH does but I'm the one making it and I've done it with sausage before and really, yuk. Agreeing that ground turkey/turkey sausage out of the links crumbled up, is maybe an okay additive, we'll see what I can find in the freezer.

I usually put grated carrot in mine quote]
My MIL made meatloaf many times when DH would visit over the years. She always put shredded carrots in there and you couldn't even see them, plus, always used Premium crackers ground up in hers too. Hum and hers was very good, okay, thinkin here
