This is an idea that I have had for a while.  After all, who likes meatloaf?  I actually do but it seems most people immediately say “yuk”. We just need to create a recipe that elevates this dish.  I have seen roulades before but this idea is pushing that concept a little.  I would say you could stuff your meatloaf with anything you like.  My wife had bought a big log of goat cheese.  That was the seed for this idea.  Marry it with wilted spinach and caramelized onions and a great combination is born.
