Did you know that Saveur magazine editor James Oseland's list of what foods will be trending in 2012 includes Meatloaf?
With the introduction of our new Homestyle Meatloaf, it's the perfect occasion to celebrate! Join us by trying on one new easy meatloaf recipe each week. Recipes are made easy by meatloaf, because it's a simple dish to prepare. But meatloaf recipes have traditionally lacked the variety and creativity necessary to make meatloaf a go-to dish to serve your family and friends over and over.
But the blank palette that is a meatloaf dish provides much room for flare and we are here to help you create gourmet meatloaf recipes with ease. There is no need to scour the recipe books of the world to figure out what to cook -- we have done that for you.
International, gourmet, easy meatloaf recipes delivered right to your inbox each week. If you love meatloaf as much as we do, then you'll want to get in on this offer. Click the button to sign up.

This week, explore the flavors of the Mediterranean with this Greek Meatloaf Recipe. This recipe serves 8 and cook/prep time is 1 hr 25 min to 1 hr 40 min.
In the pictured meatloaf, we have concentrated the Sheep's Milk Feta Cheese in the center of the loaf for a burst of flavor and garnished the yogurt sauce with fresh mint leaves - It turned out great!
We are proud to announce the addition of ready-to-cook Châtel Farms Homestyle Meatloaf now available at Walmarts Supercenters across central Florida.

In case you missed it, the December 29th, 2011, episode of The Today Show featured "Top Chef Masters" judge and Saveur magazine editor James Oseland's predictions for what foods will be popular in 2012.
Among his predictions for 2012 is a return to "real, feel-good foods" or comfort foods. While we saw a touch of this last year with the popularity of meatballs, James believes that in 2012 the meatball will be giving way to the meatloaf. Similar to meatballs, meatloaf is a variable dish that works well with a world of flavors. Meatloaf is an improvement on last year's meatballs because because it provides more room for creativity. When mixed with a variety of spices, worldly flavors and fresh ingredients, it can make for quite an exciting meal.
View James Oseland on The Today Show segment where he predicts foods trends for 2012.
Meatloaf has a down-home feel to it, because everyone remembers their mother's meatloaf. But this trend is focused on meatloaf as a very grown-up food, so it's a nice balance between comfort food and haute cuisine. Meatloaf is hearty, easy to prepare comfort food that promotes meals at home with family and friends. By creating different glazes or adding different ingredients you have on hand, meatloaf can be a different meal experience each time you prepare it.
The dishes featured in the Today Show segment included international varieties like a bacon-wrapped meatloaf from Denmark, a South African meatloaf made with curry and beautiul dried fruits, and a meatloaf from the Philippines with a whole hard-boiled egg in it.
This hot food trend dovetails nicely with the addition of New Homestyle Meatloaf to our line of quality ready-to-cook beef products. To celebrate, we would like to share some of our best meatloaf recipes with you.
Here's to spending time around the communal table sharing home-cooked meatloaf with you in 2012!

For quite some time, red meat has not been included in many heart-healthy diets and has even been associated with heart disease and high levels of LDLs, or 'the bad cholesterol'. But a new study reveals that including lean beef in your daily diet can lower your LDL levels and improve the health of your heart.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published the study which concluded that a heart-healthy diet incorporating lean beef daily is as effective at improving cholesterol levels as traditional heart-healthy diets that focus on low fat diary foods, fish and poultry. For the study, researchers at Pennsylvania State University investigated the effects of lean beef in cholesterol-lowering diets in a study called "Beef in an Optimal Lean Diet" (BOLD).i
In this study, researchers tested two levels of lean beef in heart-healthy diets: the BOLD diet, which included 4 ounces of lean beef every day, and the BOLD-PLUS diet, which contained 5.4 ounces of lean beef every day. Study participants consuming both the BOLD and BOLD-PLUS diets experienced a 10 percent decrease in their LDL cholesterol levels from the start of the study. The improvements in heart health risk factors seen from these two diets were as effective as other diets.
The body of evidence supporting lean beef in a healthy diet is strong.
To further support your desire to eat beef, one the most nutrient-rich foods available, Harvard researchers recently conducted a review of 20 epidemiological studies encompassing more than a million participants and concluded that red meat is not associated with increased heart-disease risk.ii The consistency of these findings with this week's BOLD study should further encourage you to add lean beef to your family's diet.
Researchers have suggested unnecessarily restricting beef may reduce adherence to low-fat diets, defeating their long-term effectiveness.iii Flexibility to include more nutrient-rich foods people enjoy is important for health professionals to consider as they strive to help Americans build healthier diets that include popular foods like lean beef.
Your Lean Beef Takeaways:
- Eat 4.0 to 5.4 ounces of lean beef per day as part of a heart-healthy diet with less than 7 percent of calories from saturated fat.
- Including lean beef daily has the potential to lead to a 10 percent decrease in LDL cholesterol from baseline.
- Nutrient-rich cuts of lean beef, such as Top Sirloin steak, Tenderloin and 95% lean Ground Beef, are readily available in grocery stores today. In fact, 17 of the top 25 most popular fresh meat cuts sold at retail are lean and can be part of a solution to building a heart-healthy diet.
This latest study on beef's role in a heart-healthy diet provides you with additional science to make evidence-based recommendations. To make things easy, we offer a Petit Filet of Beef Tenderloin that is up to 98% fat free and comes ready to cook in an oven safe tray. Click for store locations to find where to buy.
