Reggae Meatloaf Stuffed With Egg

This Reggae Meatloaf stuffed with egg is super delicious and quick to prepare. It’s not the quickest of dishes to cook, but it sure is worth the wait.

Depending how many people you have for dinner this meatloaf could be used for another meal or used in sandwiches.

That’s two meals…one hot meal served with cooked vegetables such as red cabbage, sprouts, green beans and gravy. The leftovers for another day could be used as a delicious cold meatloaf served with a salad.

This meal is low in carbs making it a great keto option…nobody will ever know it’s dairy-free, gluten-free, and nut-free.

REGGAE MEATLOAF STUFFED WITH EGG TIPS:

The meatloaf is formed slightly elongated, flattened to resemble a loaf of bread. It is filled with hard boiled eggs and covered in bacon. Once it’s shaped like a loaf, it is placed on a baking tray with holes in it, much like a pizza tray, to release unwanted fats. The pizza looking tray sits on top of a roasting pan to catch the fat.

Using this method of cooking the meatloaf ensures this a healthy dinner choice.

You don’t necessarily have to make one big Reggae Meatloaf. This recipe could easily be split into four mini meatloaves, they look a real treat on a dinner plate. Each meatloaf will have more bacon wrapped around it making it nice and crusty all round.

Because this meatloaf is stuffed with egg, it can’t be frozen. If you’re looking to freeze it, it must be prepared without eggs.

It’s always a good idea to prepare your eggs beforehand, the day before is a good idea. Boil more than you need for sandwiches or salads in the week. The easiest way to boil eggs is by first boiling some water in a pan, then add the eggs to the boiling water. Boil for 15 minutes, then drain. Immediately add cold water. Drain after 5-10 minutes, then add some more cold water to cool right down. This method prevents greying around the egg.
