Crazy Cajun Charley Addison shares a recipe for meatloaf that is not anything like Mom’s! This meatloaf has a Cajun twist and is delicious. This dish can be made ahead and is even better reheated or sliced for sandwiches.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix the ground meats, sage, egg, salt, pepper and vegetables until well blended. Add bread crumbs and one cup of Cajun Sauce and fold until mixed. Shape into a ball and pack into a loaf pan, pour remaining Cajun Sauce over the top. Bake the meatloaf in the oven for 1 ½ hours, or until done. Next let it set for 10 minutes before removing from pan. Serve with roasted potatoes or rice, green beans, fresh sliced tomatoes and bell peppers.
‘Any game bird, chicken or a small turkey would work as well. The brine helps keep the meat from drying out when cooking. Note: This recipe requires advance preparation.’
