My friends and recipe testers voted this Veal and Lamb Meatloaf their absolute favorite. This version is great for special occasions as most of us don’t eat veal and lamb every day. Be sure to seek out the very best lamb from New Zealand and if possible, have a butcher grind fresh lamb for you. There’s nothing like it. Feel free to serve with a nice mustard or BBQ sauce.
