The Breakfast Meatloaf
I was dreaming of being stoned one day at work and came up with this coronary of an idea: the breakfast meatloaf. (While I don’t really get high anymore, I can still pretend). Let’s turn breakfast sausage into a loaf; mixing in hash browns, French fried onions, English muffin breadcrumbs(biscuits would be even better), and an egg; wrap it in bacon, bake it, then top off with cheese and fried eggs. On this day of January 18th, 2024, I made it happen. This breakfast meatloaf is enough to serve 6; topping each slice with a fried egg and cheese. Wanna have double bypass surgery? Put a slice in between a glazed donut. Quadruple bypass surgery? Cover it in country gravy.
