SK Recipe #10: tomato-glazed meatloaves & brown butter mashed potatoes

Since I’m challenging myself+my husband to make new recipes out of our new cookbooks throughout the year (at least one from each book per month), I decided to do mini-review posts of the recipes we make on the blog.  I will not be posting the recipe (you can get it yourself in whichever book it comes from), but I’ll post a photo (if possible) of our dish made from the recipe as well as a few bullet-point notes.   There’s a category on the blog for these posts called “recipe review 2013.”

Recipe: Tomato-glazed Meatloaves with Brown Butter Mashed Potatoes from The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook, pages 187-188

• when did we make this? Sunday, September 29, for supper.
• did we change anything? No, just halved the recipe.
• what did we like?  This was a really tasty and delicious meal.  We especially liked the idea of individual meatloaf balls (that way you get more of that coveted outer edge).  I also LOVED the brown butter taste in the potatoes!
  
• what didn’t we like? Nothing, really. 
  
• will we make it again (any changes in the future)?  Yes, we will make these again– the recipe was tasty and not difficult.  I know for sure that we will be using the idea of individual meatloaf balls, even with other meatloaf mixtures!
