Kathi ~ I'm looking for a ono meatloaf recipe my husband is local and I'm haole. He doesn't like haole meatloaf. Help me. Thanks.

You pose an interesting question: I never thought of a local version of meatloaf until now. Here's a couple of recipes from our Ono Recipes site for a local style meatloaf.

Loco Style Meat Loaf

Teriyaki Spam Meatloaf

What makes it local? I guess the SPAM! LOL.

My usual meatloaf recipe includes 1 part ground beef, 1 part ground pork, chopped onions, 1 egg, a handful (about 1 c) of panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) about 1/2 c. milk, salt and pepper. Sometimes I put a thin topping of tomato catsup mixed with Worcester sauce to taste on top and then bake in a 350 degree oven until done (about 45 min-1 hour).

Would he eat loco moco? That's hamburger patties over white rice topped with a fried egg and smothered with a brown gravy. That usually goes over well with locals, too.
