Breakfast Meatloaf (including Pork Sausage Recipe)
My brother’s friend Cameron described to me a fantastical breakfast phenomenon he once imagined, called a “Breakfast Meatloaf”. I took on his dream as if it were my own and created this absolutely GD delicious breakfast meatloaf, using my maple-sage pork sausage recipe, combined with a goodly helping of vegetables, stuffed with hard boiled eggs, and drizzled with a spicy maple glaze. WHAT?
Ahem.
One of the best things about this (besides it being completely delicious and I want some more right now) is that you can make it ahead of time, cool it, slice it, and store it in the fridge for a few days. Like most meatloaf, it’s perfectly fine eaten cold (I’m not the only one, right?) and absolutely kick ass reheated in a pan with some butter to get some crispy lil bits all over it, then snuggled into some hearty bread slices — maybe with tomato, ketchup, more Sriracha — and eaten on the run or not.
By “on the run” I mean on the run from the law, obviously. Breakfast meatloaf sammy would make a great traveling lunch to send along with your friend who stopped by your house for aid while eluding the cops!

Hilah!
Thanks for making my favorite dinner a breakfast! Now I will eat meatloaf all day. I’m gonna make this for ~8 people on next Tuesday. If I bake two loaves, how much longer should I leave it in the oven?Thanks!
Joey-
Yay! I have solved (or created?) All your problems! 😉
I’d check them at 40 minutes, but they might need 45. If you have a thermometer, the internal temp should be 160ºF.
Enjoy!

I soaked up carmelized pork fat mixed with maple syrup and sriracha with some flatbread. One amazing taste sensation, but what did I just do to myself? This recipe is unbelievably awesome and I dont even like meatloaf.
-
YAY!! I’m really happy you tried the recipe, especially since you don’t like meatloaf. 🙂

Liz / Made this for my 2 1/2 year old and he actually ate it I ended up havlnig the recipe, using dark turkey meat and topping it with black forest bacon. I did use one of those meatloaf pans that drain the fat away so I cooked it for 1 hour at 350 and it came out perfect. So excited to have another food to add to our dinners. Thank you!

That’s roll “Stephanie”, Bulgarian cuisine

Oh neat! I’d never heard of that. One recipe I found has pickles in it. Sounds good.

I used to make this not use the hard boil eggs.instead I would put the meat in a Tupperware round jello mold . When molded I would transfer to baking sheet lined with foil and bake same time and would fill the center of jello molded with creamed boiled eggs. Using whilte cream sauce . Then serve with a Sweet roll . Orange or cinnamon rolls . Coffee , juice, or hot tea . .thats my plan for the morn after thanksgiving for my guests.

Sounds good and pretty!

I have made this similar recipe for years with one variation. I place cheesy ham scrambled eggs in the middle. What I did learn is that this glaze is soooo much better than the one I have used in the past. My recipe card says Neopolitan meatloaf. Have no idea what that refers to.
I did chop up the spinach with the soft scrambled eggs.
-
Thank you! I think Neapolitan might refer to the spinach? I can’t find any easy evidence of that online 😉 but I feel like I’ve read it in a cookbook somewhere …

Very tasty! Onions and bell peppers aren’t my favorite so I substituted leeks for onions and used jalapenos. To keep it from being too hot I used 1/4 cup jalapeno and added extra carrot. Also added some Jameson’s to the glaze. ?
-
Yum! I love those changes to the recipe 🙂

Made this today & flavor is great but no binding ingredient listed? (Bread crumbs/crackers/etc) so super crumbly and did not hold its shape at all.
