Rustic French MeatloafRomulo Yanes

This comforting dish marries the simplicity of meatloaf with the flavor and depth of a French pâté. Leftover slices naturally make terrific sandwiches, but they're also wonderful panfried in olive oil.

Cooks' note:

You can use a metal loaf pan, but the meatloaf will take about 15 minutes longer to cook.
