Buffalo Meatloaf with Spinach and Roasted Baby PotatoesTina Rupp

This is a complete meal—with a main course and two sides.

Also called "American bison," buffalo tastes slightly sweeter than beef. It also has significantly less fat and cholesterol. You can find buffalo at specialty foods stores (such as Whole Foods), some farmers' markets, and online at dartagnan.com. If you can't find buffalo, use lean grass-fed beef.
