Buffalo Meatloaf with Spinach and Roasted Baby Potatoes

amanda

Equipment

  • - Stand Mixer: Ideal for combining meat and spinach efficiently, ensuring even distribution.

  • - Instant-Read Digital Thermometer: Perfect for checking the doneness of your meatloaf without opening it frequently.

  • - Roasting Pan: Essential for roasting baby potatoes with their skin on to get a crispy texture.

  • - Non-stick Skillet: Useful for sautéing ingredients or cooking the meatloaf before baking.

  • - Baking Sheet: For preparing and roasting baby potatoes underneath the meatloaf if desired, enhancing flavor through drippings.

  • - Food Processor (optional): Can be used for finely chopping spinach but isn't mandatory depending on personal preference or recipe adaptation.

  • - Dutch Oven: While not essential, it offers even cooking and a nice crust to the meatloaf if using this method.

  • - Meat Grinder (optional): Useful for making fresh ground meat; however, pre-ground meat is more convenient unless aiming for custom texture adjustments.

  • - Spatula: Essential for flipping and moving meatloaf during the cooking process.
