So, my boyfriend and I were watching ‘The Best Thing I Ever Ate’ (‘The Classics’ version) the other night, and Ina Garten’s selection was the Meatloaf at The 1770 House Restaurant and Inn, located in East Hampton, NY. When they showed this meatloaf, I have to say it didn’t look as appetizing as the meatloafs I’m used to. You know, the kind with some type of sauce on top…etc.
This meatloaf consists of beef, pork and veal, along with other kinds of flavorful goodies. Then the sauce is chicken or beef broth simmered with butter and cloves of roasted garlic. After perusing the internetz for about 10 minutes looking for the recipe, I was delighted to find that the Food Network posted the recipe on their site!! Oh happy happy day!
I made this meatloaf last night (sorry, it makes enough for 6-8 ppl and I froze the rest after we ate…no picture taken.), paired it with homemade mashed potatoes and whole kernel corn.
And it was one of the best dishes I’ve made in quite a while. The taste was savory, and the sauce with the roasted garlic was spot on! I know I’ve posted my own version of meatloaf on this blog a while back, and I do figure I’ll make that version again. But you can rest assured…this one is for sure to be in heavy rotation.
Here’s the link!!
Thank you sooo much…will try this very soon. I love fennel in my meatloaf; but, will make this true to the recipe the 1st time out. Kisses, Kate
you’re very welcome!! this is a great meatloaf recipe!!
Thank you, I just came across your post and the meatloaf is in the oven… looks DELICIOUS and I cannot wait to taste it!
Hi Norah,
I was unable to get this recipe via the link. Please help.
Thanks.

Sorry Rosh! They must have taken down their Facebook page, but luckly the recipe is now posted on the food network website. Click on the link and you’ll be able to see it! Thanks for the headsup!!
Really? I thought it was atrocious. And I followed the recipe exactly. Ugh. I guess everyone has different ideas of what meatloaf should be.
I agree…it’s def not traditional! But, I along with my boyfriend thought this was awesome! Do I still make the traditional? Absolutely. This is just a nice alternative for us.
Truly the best meatloaf I’ve ever tasted…sent to all my friends and relatives…thanks Ina.
