Meatloaf is a classic dish for a reason, providing that nostalgic feeling associated with a comforting home-cooked meal. We wanted to build upon that foundation by amplifying these flavors with the addition of some hot giardiniera. The end result was heavenly, retaining the iconic flavors we associate with a hearty meatloaf but with some great zestiness baked in. Plus, assembling this meatloaf requires hardly any prep time to get it in the oven. Give it a shot! Recipe below.
