What goes good with meatloaf?!
What goes good with meatloaf?
no mashed potatoes or regular salad something else more edgey.
Answers:
We usually have baked taters. You can do a twice baked tater where you bake, scoop out the insides and mix with some cheese and bacon bits, mashing that with just a bit of milk, put back into the skin and bake again. How about some corn or green beans? Or some hot, crusty French bread? Some steamed broccoli with some garlic butter or cheese melted over it?
Funny how all these idiots say "mashed potatoes" when you specifically say "NO MASHED POTATOES"
Oven roasted potatoes with rosemary (see recipe below), and some asparagus are good side dishes with meatloaf. You could always have a baked potato, or twice-baked potatoes.
Rosemary Roasted Red Potatoes
12 - 15 baby red or yukon gold potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon fresh minced rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1 teaspoon freshly ground course black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Wash potatoes and cut into half or quarters, which ever you prefer. Place potatoes on a clean sheet pan and spread out so the potatoes are evenly layered. Let the potatoes air dry for 5 minutes making sure they do not start to color from oxidation.
Place potatoes in a large bowl and add remaining ingredients and toss to combine well. Return the potatoes to the sheet pan and place in oven for 45 minutes or until tender.
how about peas with pearl onions?
Grilled asparagus, rice pilaf, boiled new potatoes with thyme, spinach and artichoke salad...
asparagus (sp?) or some kind of dark green veggie
(why no mashed potatoes??? or spice up the mashed potatoes w/ a little garlic salt, yummy!)

Now that the weather is warming up how about potato or macaroni salad? Rice is also good. You can cook it in beef or chick. broth instead of water. When cooked add sauteed mushrooms and diced sauteed green onions. A couple of good side dishes are green beans w/bacon or small green peas with grilled onions. ( once you try these peas you won't want them any other way.) A good crusty bread or hard rolls go well too. Make a big meatloaf, leftovers are great! Enjoy
