Mega meatloaf: Savor a hearty Roman roast weekend feast
Here's an idea for a roast you can prepare when you're in the mood to diversify your home lunch menu. It's delicious, moist, perfectly seasoned, and extremely filling. I guarantee the whole family will be satisfied!
Mega Meatloaf, despite its name, is not the latest action movie starring Jason Statham, but a dish that you'll find incredibly useful. Why? Well, besides being ridiculously simple to make, its size is large enough to have lunch covered for the whole weekend. Doesn't that sound wonderful?
So, it's meatloaf or — if you prefer professional terminology — Roman roast. The main star of this dish, of course, is ground meat. For this recipe, I've chosen pork, but there's nothing stopping you from using poultry, such as turkey. It's worth adding simple ingredients like parsley, onion, and a handful of mushrooms. That's all it takes for a delicious and nutritious lunch. Check out how simple it is.
