• Cooks' Notes:
• •Smoked paprika from Spain is the latest smoky flavor, after chipotle chiles, but don't despair if you can't find it. Skip it and you'll still end up with a delicious meatloaf.
• •Meat that's been ground once will be coarser and will give your meatloaf a more appealing texture. This may be a special request at your supermarket or from your butcher.
• •This recipe also works with regular ground chuck or bison.
• •If you are making the meatloaf along with the scalloped potatoes, you can bake them side by side on the same rack in the oven. If your pans won’t fit side by side, put the meatloaf in the upper third and the potatoes in the lower third. When it comes to broiling, though, broil each one separately, so that you have more control over how much each dish browns.
• •Leftover meatloaf keeps, well covered and chilled, 4 days. It makes a mean sandwich with caramelized onions and Dijon mustard, or simply lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise.
