    Uhh, how do you intend to mix the funyuns in? Grinding them up, or uh…Okay I’m gonna be real I don’t eat meatloaf so in my mind I have this image of a chunk of meat looking like bread but I know that’s wrong, so I don’t know what else to ask about this.

    Is onion meatloaf a dish? That seems like that might be more appealing if you like the two.

      Ok, so basic meatloaf: onions, peppers, garlic sautéed and cooled add to ground beef can be “stretched” (feeding a lot for as little as possible) with eggs & breadcrumbs season with salt, pepper, ketchup place in a loaf pan (best with some parchment/baking paper lining can be topped or wrapped with bacon & more ketchup for a glaze bake, cool/let set, slice, serve with mashed taters, gravy, peas & carrots and you have a very typical dinner circa 1950.

      Now funyuns? I’d probably just grind them up and add to the meat to mix, with some mixed in with the ketchup glaze. alternatively I would have 1 or 2 rings on top as a garnish.

      I am not high either

      Most meatloaf (at least the one’s I’ve made) has onions and breadcrumbs in it, using the funyuns might cover both ingredients. Though I think the funyun flavor would be more like adding onion powder and not actually onions. And the breadcrumbs are meant to help hold the meat together, I’m not sure the funyun dust would do the same.

        I feel like it would do a decent job of helping hold together, but I’m betting the flavor wouldn’t be that noticeable in the end product unless you used a lot of funyuns.

      Meat loaf is basically a combination of ground meat, eggs, and bread crumbs mixed together and formed in to a loaf. Onions are a common addition.

      I would imagine you would smash the funions and replace the bread crumbs. It would probably be okay.
