We had some ground lamb and Robin wanted to make something different. We both agreed on a meatloaf. She blended it, though, with ground beef, 7%. Here is the result. Enjoy! It is an awesome meatloaf!!

Hi Peggy,This time of year we can get fresh, greenhouse basil, and other herbs, from our local coop. Or, you can grow a pot in your kitchen window.Hugs

Thanks. We buy local ground lamb and beef at our farmer's market and the lamb purveyor suggested that I try a ground lamb meatloaf. I have some in my freezer and will try your recipe this week. Not sure I can find fresh basil, but I'll keep trying.Hugs
