Meatloaf with Pancetta and Mushrooms

A yummy variation of an old classic!

Meatloaf with Pancetta and Mushrooms. A yummy variation of an old classic! I love meatloaf any day. Comfort food at its finest.

Funny thing is, I made this meatloaf last week when I was craving meatloaf, and then this week while watching “The Kitchen” on Food Network this week,  they said that meatloaf is the most searched food on their site! So perfect timing, I had to make another one to post! I’m “meat-loafed” out! But it’s so good that I don’t mind!

Growing up we ate Aunt DeDee’s meatloaf. The old classic made with onion soup mix. I think it was every other Thursday. I loved it, but now that I’m forty-something and that my tastes have changed, I came up with this variation a few years back. I don’t make it every other Thursday but for sure a few times a year! Meatloaf with Pancetta and Mushrooms is awesome the night that you make it, but great in sandwiches with lettuce and mayo. Heck, I even warm up a slice, chop it up, and put it on a salad with ranch dressing! Yum!

    Dayummmmmm! I am a huge fan of meatloaf and meatloaf sandwiches, especially when fire roasted. I am pinning this to try on the grill this summer. Great looking recipe, I can’t wait to try it.

    Looks and sounds delicious Heather. I like the panchetta and mushroom additions and the soaked bread to keep it moist. We rarely crave meatloaf but make it because we crave the next days meatloaf sandwich.
