Delicious Cheddar Meatloaf. This week’s recipe is what I fixed for our Valentine’s dinner. I tried the Cheddar Meatloaf out of the Cooking with the Fishers cookbook. The Fishers are local to Lancaster County and have a produce stand during the warmer months in Ronks, Pennsylvania.
At the front of the cookbook, there is a section talking about members of the Fisher family, which I found interesting. It’s like they are welcoming you into their home. There are 13 chapters of recipes in this cookbook, including beverages, snacks/treats, dips/spreads/sauces, sandwiches/soups, salads/dressings, main courses/side dishes, breads/rolls/muffins, cakes/frostings, desserts/puddings/pies, cookies/bars, breakfast dishes, canning/preserving, and non-edible household formulas. A wonderful selection of recipes to browse through and try out.
We really enjoyed this Delicious Cheddar Meatloaf dish. The only thing I did differently was I used ground turkey instead of beef. The Cheddar Meatloaf was very moist, and the sauce on top had that tangy-sweet taste. Even though I was full, I still went back for more. And since it made a nice size loaf, we had it again for dinner the next evening. It was yummy then too. To try this meatloaf yourself, here’s the recipe.
