Better Than Your Mom’s Meatloaf

Lucky Foods were looking for food bloggers to compete in a food blogger recipe challenge.  I was honored that I was one of the 30 bloggers chosen for this contest.   Each food blogger was sent (3) of their Korean sauces to create a unique appetizer and entrée dish.

We were sent samples of the following:

• Kalbi BBQ Sauce (Vegan / Gluten Free / Non-GMO Certified)
  • A staple in Korean cooking and traditionally used for short ribs. Offering a combination of sweet and savory flavors and a zing of ginger. You can use as a marinade to make authentic Korean BBQ at home, or add into a wok for a delicious stir fry sauce.

• Kimchi Mayo (Vegan / Gluten Free / Non-GMO Certified)

  • A blend of vegan mayonnaise and their Kimchi Hot Sauce. They use gochugaru – the same chili pepper that gives Kimchi its spicy flavor to create this creamy condiment that will be your new go-to on everything from sandwiches to veggie platters.

• Gochujang (Vegan / Non-GMO Certifed)

  • A staple in ethnic cooking, Gochujang, is a red chili pepper paste made from authentic Korean chili peppers. This paste offers a healthy amount of lingering heat, while adding subtle sweetness and umami flavor from the fermented soybeans. Use in moderation in everything from stews to marinades.

I love that they are a family-owned-and-operated company!

This post is sponsored by Lucky Foods, but all opinions are 100% my own.

I have never really been a fan of meatloaf until I made this recipe.  Everyone in the family immediately gave it two thumbs up and it’s already part of our dinner rotation.  It’s really easy to quickly assemble and keep in the fridge until you are ready to put into the oven.   Perfect for those nights you don’t want to spend alot of time in the kitchen.

In this particular dish, I used both Lucky Foods Gochujang and Lucky Foods Kalbi BBQ Sauce.  This gave the meat so much flavor.  I even added additional Kalbi BBQ Sauce to my plate to dip each bite in.  Oh so good!

Even better, I have been currently doing WeightWatchers the last few weeks and this dish is Weightwatcher friendly!!  I served up with some mashed cauliflower and corn.  Simply Delicious.

Leftovers even tasted great the next day!  Highly recommend you add this dish in your dinner lineup soon!
