Last night, Rob cooked dinner. He made meatloaf with mashed potatoes and yellow beans. Seemed innocent enogh, but the meatloaf and the sauce were very rich. It wasn't until after dinner that he mentioned the cheese aspect of the meatloaf... A niggling suspicion poked at the back of my mind.
"Umm, where did you say you got the recipe?"
"Food Network. Some woman whose show we don't get up here."
" Paula Deen?"
"Maybe."
On further inspection, it was revealed that it was indeed a Paula Deen recipe. The queen of over the top southern cooking. Why am I mortified?
1. I couldn't tell there was cheese in it.
2. Its like 2000 calories/serving!
3. I liked it.

Sounds like a heart attack waitin' to happen ya'll!! That means it has to be incredible :)
A-ha, another Paula Deen victim! I have one of her cookbooks, and this recipe is in it. I've always been too scared to try it. It looks delish, but why do there have to be Ritz crackers in it??
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm......
hmmm, that looks really good. I usually make the meatloaf from best recipe - wrapped in bacon.
LOL!! Of course you liked it! Paula Deen will seduce you with all the fat. I have one of her cookbooks and most of her recipes are lethal!! By the way, the meal looks delicious!
Isn't that just the truth... some of the best food is usually the most fattening.
I've never tried anything Paula Deen. Now I'm scared to LOL
I've always been scared of her recipes...
Oh, ye gods and little fishes! That's a lot of calories... I hope it was worth them! I don't mind splurging now and then, but if it doesn't live up to my expectations/hopes, I'm desolate.
to dawna: ye gods and little fishes? Any chance you come from or have relatives from the Prairies?
You really liked it? I thought the meatloaf had an overall good flavor, but the SALTINESS was unbelievable. Never mind the fat, just the sodium is enough to put you into cardiac arrest. I may try the recipe cutting the House seasoning, Lawry's and Worcestershire in half.
