Frequently Asked Questions:
Cauliflower Stuffed Meatloaf
Is the cauliflower going to release its liquids while baking?
Nope! Just let it strain and cool down well before assembling the meatloaf.
Is the meat going to cook under the puff pastry?
Yes, don’t worry about it. As long as you adjust the oven temperature and leave the meatloaf inside for at least an hour, it’ll cook all the way through.
