Sounds good Juan Thanks! No egg binder?

The binder is the pork sausage and the cooked meatloaf can be sliced into firm, slices that don't fall apart.

Good gravy can be had by mixing a cup of water with a rounded teaspoon of cornstarch disolved in it. For the taste, use a tspn of "Better than boullion"(beef version) and stir it in.....good luck.

Interesting. I'll try the sausage next time.

I usually use the cubed bread like in your recipe but I soak it in milk first. I find this helps to bind and also keeps the meatloaf moist too.

actually I would whole-wheat bread crumbs, (whole wheat bread would be fine too).

Shouldn't be a problem. I use whatever is on hand; whole wheat bread, white bread, cubed hamburger buns. Years ago,
my Mom made meat loaf using rolled oats. I can't remember how much she used.:roll::smile:

My mother made meatloaf using sausage years ago. When most of the family was home she made quite a large meatloaf and there was enough left over to make meatloaf sandwiches which have become one of my favorites. Four or five years ago I started using mild Italian sausage and I stuck with it.
