Easy Pleasing Meatloaf

     I have been dying to try this new Pan Lining Paper from Reynolds Wrap and thought cooking a meatloaf would be a good way to put it to the test.  The paper has foil on one side and parchment paper on the other, it says it is tear resistant on the package so thought it would a good product for dutch oven cooking.  Where parchment paper might not hold up to heavier meals, this product definitely does.  For those of you who are new to my blog, here's a link to an easy way to cut liners for your oven.  The lined paper costs around $4.00 a box but you get 30 square feet, more than enough to cut 15 liners and at least half the price of the pre-cut ones you can buy online.  Also, some people don't like their food coming in contact with aluminum foil as it's cooking, this might make you feel a bit safer.  If you're interested in giving it a try, here's a link to the Reynold's site where you can print out a coupon for $1.00 off a box.
     This recipe from the Kraft company seemed like a very quick and easy way to mix up a meatloaf, especially if you're cooking outside.  Just combine the ingredients in a large bowl, form into a loaf and bake away.  I cut up some potatoes to go along with it, but you can also toss in some quartered onions and carrot chunks to make it more of a one pot dinner.  In my 12 inch oven the meatloaf cooked for one hour with 12 coals around the base of the oven and 28-30 on the lid.  After 30 minutes I moved the center coals to a double ring around the outside of the lid.  This is an outstanding recipe, the meatloaf was moist and juicy but still held together beautifully.  The new lining paper performed like a champ, there was no leakage and clean up was a breeze.
