  1. I make a b*** meatloaf. But yours look like it would dance in my mouth. Barbecue yeah we're gonna try that. When you blend the peppers and onions you could have threw garlic holes in there too but it reminded me of Sofritto. I'm not sure if you're familiar with puerto rican cuisine ..

  2. Love this high protein recipe content. I too am looking to build muscle but not sacrifice taste and this is something my family can eat too

  3. Ok I know this is far fetched, but ima take a leap and see. You are my go to whenever I’m making something for the first time. Restaurant food just isn’t what it used to be, so I like to follow recipes and create at home, my birthday is February 4, all I want to taste is some Brown Butter Scallops with Parmesan Risotto! To my surprise I don’t see a video from you for this recipe. I don’t have a clue the hard work you may put in to create these videos for us, but if I could get a video of your take on this delicious dish, I would be so very grateful 😊 I said it was a long shot 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

  4. Such a creative recipe! I’m always looking for fresh inspiration for my channel, and this looks delicious. Can't wait to try it 🔥🍽️🙂

  5. Hey Matt! Can you clarify the ingredient difference between the video and the posted recipe please? (1 egg vs 2 eggs) (2 bell peppers vs 1 bell pepper – half green, half red) etc – I'd love to try this recipe out!

  6. I Love your Changes! Thank you so much. I enjoy all your recipes, but I'm on a Special Diet so I've had to alter them somewhat here & there. And now you're doing it all!! So Greatful you're Making it Happen! 🎉🎉🎉

  7. Meat loaf is dope for protein. Me, I like to add in bacon to the mix. The bell peppers for me, red and yellow. The green ones are koo, but I feel the red n yellow have more flavor.. As far as bread crumbs, keep it low carb, I go with the Japanese style. Great fucking video fam.

  8. I like you. I even bought your cookbook, but the Balenciaga t-shirt made me want to return the cookbook, sad to say I was disappointed to see you supporting that demonic brand. Jesus is Lord and He loves you. I pray you come to know Him and give Him the glory! 🙏🏻

  9. Looks amazing! I like the diced onion/bell peppers. I season and marinate my meat overnight, and it smells so good the next day. I also bake mine in a large glass baking dish.

  10. This meatloaf looks delicious🔥. As a Southern lady a good cook ..I use 90/ 10 or 80/20 lean ground , i love your AP seasoning flavored 🔥I make pretty good juicy meatloaf. I mix my meatloaf with cornflakes or cornbread and veggies,seasoning BBQ sauce , I always want to try new recipes. I will make it happen and I will try this recipe..💚🧅🫑

  11. Look for a baked risotto recipe. I have one and scallops are easy to cook.😊 I like them with butter and lemon or wrapped in bacon😅

  12. Matt, you mentioned setting the oven to 350 degrees but your printable recipe says 375. Either way, this is the first time I’ve ever made meatloaf. When I say it was absolutely delicious!!! Thank you so much for the labor of love you provide to help us all feel like chefs. May God return blessings to you 7x’s over.
