Note
Serene Chats: I like to use grass fed or organic beef when I can afford it for this recipe
as I do not like to eat regular store-bought kind when I am not draining off the grease.
Sometimes I use ground lamb. It is absolutely delicious in meat loaf and since it is
not mass marketed in USA, it comes from smaller farms and is usually pastured or
grass fed. You can find a cheaper source for lamb by locating an international market
where Middle Eastern people purchase their meat. These nationalities live on lamb and
goat and, as it is not a specialty item to them, it can be bought without hurting your
pocket too much. At one such store, they grind it up freshly in front of me and I usually
ask for organ meats, like heart or liver, to be ground up with it. The organ meats are
very healthy and when included in this loaf, you would never suspect it.
