I've always loved the Filipino Meatloaf (Everlasting)! Last week, I tried making the American style and it turned out well! Finally, my dad loved a dish that is not Chinese or Filipino. ;) We even ate the burnt portion on the sides!
I did not copy the recipe on the net because it was too expensive so I made my own version and added some garlic gravy. :)
Here's the recipe. Hope you'll like it.
