I just put a Buffalo Meatloaf in the oven. Ask me anything!

[Scout1071]

Mmmmmm.......smells good. First time I've made it, so keep your fingers crossed!

1. Have you eaten it?

Did you like it?

[Scout1071]

5. Eating it now. Best meatloaf I have ever had.

[Redstone]

15. OK, I'm going to have to try it. But clarify, please: Was it meatloaf

made from buffalo, of "buffalo-wing-spiced" meatloaf?

16. Ground buffalo meat.

Not "buffalo-wing-spiced."

It's very lean, much lower fat compared to beef, but cooks more like beef - as opposed to ground turkey - which just isn't can't quite capture the same consistency and texture as beef.

[Haole Girl]

18. Is it also called Bison?

Just curious. I don't remember seeing it in the grocery store.

[Scout1071]

19. Same thing. It's called buffalo at Whole Foods. Not all markets have it.

But look around and check it out. Very tasty. I've had buffalo burgers, strip steaks and now meatloaf. All terrific. Very, very lean.

Edited to add a link:

The value of this wholesome meat, which sustained native Americans for centuries, has only recently been discovered. Modern analysis has uncovered some amazing facts about the nutritional qualities of Bison. Simply stated, Bison contains less of what we do not need (fat, calories and cholesterol) and more of what we we do need (iron, protein and fatty acids). Chemical free and naturally delicious it is truly the healthy red meat everyone can enjoy. It has been found that some people who are allergic to other meats are able to eat Buffalo.

But the really good news is the taste! Many people say Bison is the most flavorful meat they have ever tasted... with a sweeter and richer flavor than beef. Try it today, and see for yourself how delicious health food can be!

Why Eat Buffalo Meat?
Bison meat is the heart-healthy red meat. It gives all the taste of beef with all the health benefits of chicken. Many heart patients who find it hard to change their tastes can now safely enjoy red meat by substituting bison for beef. The taste is very similar to the best beef you have ever tasted, with just a hint of sweetness to the meat.

Bison meat is non allergenic. No one, to date, has had an allergic reaction to buffalo meat. Many people who have allergies to other meats find they can eat buffalo. There are no low level antibiotics, no hormones, no drug residues, and no preservatives in buffalo. When eating bison, you are eating wholesome meat.

Bison has more iron than beef. For women, iron is a significant item. Adding bison to your diet can help meet those recommended allowances, as bison contributes about 69% more iron to your diet per serving than does beef!

20. Thanks

Glad you enjoyed your dinner. I managed to burn mine, while waiting for hubby to get home! Your meatloaf sounded better than my burned pasta!

[Scout1071]

21. I hope you saw that I updated that with a link about buffalo meat.

A little Google will give you tons of info.

[bigwillq]

7. That sounds very yummy!

:bounce:

Anything to drink with that? :shrug:

[Scout1071]

8. I chose a 2006 Lemonade.

Just didn't feel like cracking open a bottle of wine tonight.

[bigwillq]

10. Is 2006 Lemonade better

than 2005 Lemonade?? :shrug:

:P

[Scout1071]

11. Yes, I feel that fresh is always better.

But this particular Lemonade was from the Minute Maid vineyard.

3. Buffalo is very tasty.

Let me know how it turns out.

[Brigid]

6. And you didn't invite me?

It does sound good.

[Scout1071]

12. Next time. This was a test run. I don't like to make something

for the first time with guests!

[Scout1071]

9. OK People - Really delicious dish - Highly recommended. Recipe:

13. Every dish I've ever made with buffalo was fabulous....

I'm starting to prefer the taste.

[Scout1071]

14. Agreed. I'm going to try the Buffalo filets next.

If you are a meatloaf fan, I'd highly recommend.

I changed it slightly, leaving out the celery. Next time, I'll probably add zuchini in place of the celery.

[Rowdyboy]

17. I love meatloaf but my guy isn't a fan and-since he's open to pretty much

anything else, I don't complain. It makes great burgers and tacos though, and I'll bet its cool for spaghetti, lasagna etc. I'm also becoming a huge fan of ground turkey breast. Cooked and properly spiced, it is identical to ground beef (IMHO).
