Not your typical meatloaf! This is an excellent way to use wild rice. The cheddar cheese definately adds to this dish. It keeps the meatloaf moist and tender, especially if you use the open log roll shape that I do. I think I will try to incorporate cheese in some of my other meatloaf recipes. I never have dry breadcrumbs in my pantry so I always substitute crushed plain crackers. I also halved the amount of rice, using only one egg and omitting the flour entirely. This way it was more of a "meat" than "rice" loaf. I gave this recipe a spanish flare by adding oregano instead of sage. I think next time I will also add some olives. YUM YUM Thanks for your wonderful recipe idea.
