Peasant Wellington

There's a lady in Mocksville, NC, population 5,051, who is pretty smart.  Her name is Bea Long.  Bea came up with a really great idea and posted it on a site called Just A Pinch, who gave her a blue ribbon for her idea, and where I happened to see it this very day, because I'm on the email list for Just a Pinch. It's one of those recipe sites where real people send in their recipes.  They aren't professional chefs, or caterers or line cooks, and they're definitely not TV celebrities.  Most of them have never worked in food & beverage.  Just real people cooking real food. 

"Why not just make it with meatloaf?"
   

Bea Long admitted to the whole world right there online, that when she makes Beef Wellington, it sometimes doesn't get done enough for her taste.  If you don't like your meat with the blood running like I do, that could definitely be a problem.  So Bea decided one day, "Why not just make it with meatloaf?"  And I for one, am glad she did.  Truth be told, I just had one of those slap your forehead why didn't I think of that moments.  Little jealous, Bea.

Anyway, our hats are off to you, Bea, for your inspirational idea.  And readers, Bea says use your own favorite meatloaf recipe, if you prefer, then follow her instructions from there.
