SPIRAL MEATLOAF
Can you stand another meatloaf recipe? I saw this being made on a tv show -- but was vacuuming and didn't catch all the ingredients. So, I adapted my own (rather, my mother's) recipe and came up with this. My husband will not eat meatloaf any other way!

Tips:
- Choose the right meat: A combination of ground beef and pork is a classic choice for spiral meatloaf, but you can also use ground turkey, lamb, or even venison. Just make sure the meat is fresh and has a good fat content, as this will help keep the meatloaf moist.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to flavor your meatloaf. Some popular options include garlic, onion, paprika, chili powder, and thyme.
- Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Shape the meatloaf properly: To get a nice spiral effect, you need to shape the meatloaf into a long, thin loaf. You can use a loaf pan or a piece of parchment paper to help you shape the meatloaf.
- Cook the meatloaf at the right temperature: Spiral meatloaf should be cooked at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about an hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Once the meatloaf is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.
