Micah Madison’s Meatloaf! mmmmmmmmmmmmmm……I heart meatloaf; although for the most part I prefer my mother’s. Meatloaf in restaurants tend to not be so tasty to me. I like a fairly plain version- with a bit of sweet and tang. Many moons ago I worked in Iowa and a co-worker brought in her meatloaf. It was so tasty I asked for the recipe. The first time I went to make it I thought it was a bit sweeter than I remembered and maybe even tastier. The next time I went to make it I realized my mistake. I had inadvertently switched out the evaporated milk with condensed milk. Sweetened condensed milk. Yes folks, I had made meat candy. I couldn’t knowingly go back to the condensed milk, but I really did like the sweetness- so I revised the recipe and added in some brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Problem solved- sweet and respectable!
