I made this dinner a few weeks ago and in my scattered, crazy brain I forgot to publish the blog. It's a little break from all of the Turkey Talk to come.
Meat and potatoes style. Well, meatloaf and corny cheese grits because I didn't have any potatoes. Looking at this picture makes me remember how, apparently, if you want to add interest and dimension to your plate you should stack. So, ideally, I would have layered grits, beans, and then meatloaf to make a more interesting dinner plate. However, in the interest of hunger and keeping the different elements separate, it's not stacked. Next time, Gadget.
I hated meatloaf growing up. Even now, the thought of meatloaf in the bread pan with a nice glob of ketchup on top does not do it for me. This recipe is for Alton Brown's meatloaf and I actually love it. I don't know if it's the extra veggies & flavor or if it's because it's baked freeform but I do like it a lot. It's, in my opinion, 100% better than your average meatloaf. The cheese grits are your standard cheese grits but they're corny because I added corn for extra flavor, color, and texture. (Hank, I know where you're going with that!) The green & yellow beans were SO GOOD!!!!! I got them at the market last weekend and they were tender and sweet and delicious!! I just blanched them and served them plain because I was short on time and it ended up being a great decision. They were perfect on their own.
