Meatloaf is a meat dish consisting of seasoned ground meat (usually ground beef or a combination of ground beef with veal, lamb, or pork), which is formed into a loaf shape and baked or smoked. The loaf shape is formed by either cooking it in a loaf pan, or forming it by hand on an ordinary baking pan. During the Great Depression it was popular to add cereal grains to the meatloaf to stretch the meat; the tradition lives on with the merits of producing a lower-fat dish with superior binding and consistency. It is normally served warm as part of the main course, but can also be found sliced as a cold cut. Many meatloaf recipes are interchangeable with meatball recipes, the distinction coming from choice of sauce and accompaniments. Many of these recipes call for pasta sauce or tomato sauce to be poured over the loaf to form a crust during baking. In the Midwestern United States, the sauce may be replaced with simple gravy but is prepared in a similar manner. Barbecue sauce or a mixture of tomato ketchup and mustard may also be used. Meatloaf is an extremely versatile dish. The ground meat is frequently mixed with breadcrumbs, small pieces of bread soaked in milk (or red wine or another liquid), wheat germ, or oatmeal, and eggs in order to make it more dough-like. Salt, herbs and spices (such as parsley), as well as chopped vegetables (such as onions, green peppers and celery), may also be added. Another variety of meatloaf is prepared by frosting it with mashed potatoes, drizzling it with a small amount of butter, and browning in the oven. Some people like to add strips of bacon on top. Furthermore, meatloaves may be filled with eggs, cheese, vegetables, herbs, mushrooms, or a combination of these ingredients. Meatloaf is typically eaten with some kind of sauce or relish. The dish can be considered Italian (it is a cousin to the meatball), Midwestern, or even soul food. name="External_links" id="External_links">

1. Meatloaf Memories
August 11, 2008
Meatloaf Memories By Liz Gilbert When I was a little girl, my family would take summer trips up to see my grandparents. Their house was on a lake, in the middle of nowhere, and I loved the drive up; all the beautiful trees, the sun glistening on the lake, and all the amazing wildlife. But, the part that I loved the most was our first night dinner ritual. Every time we came, my grandmother made her meatloaf recipe. And when I was finally tall enough to reach the counter she taught me how to make it too. There's something so simple, and comforting about meatloaf. So after my fami... (read more)

2. Recipes For Deviled Eggs
July 02, 2008
Boiled eggs with a dressed-up yolk have been around since ancient Romans poured sauces of wine, honey, pine nuts and herbs on them. By the Renaissance time, eggs stuffed with savory spices were common. Like other dishes that have gathered attention recently, such as designer macaroni and cheese and riffs on meatloaf, this latest interest in deviled eggs rode in on many streams. With the economy going to hell, the war dragging on and gas prices so high, you're talking about a lot of depressing things going on. During my childhood the deviled eggs were a family picnic staple. They're simple... (read more)

3. Disciplinary Loaf
October 18, 2007
An indubitable fact: my grandma, Nannie, could make the best Snickerdoodle cookies. Pity, then, that this is not her claim to fame (or is it infamy) in her small hometown. For it is there, in the otherwise peaceful agricultural environs of California's San Joaquin Valley, that the sweetest little old lady this side of Pasadena was known for something the locals would deridingly call disciplinary loaf.
Nannie was a God fearing woman who attended church, well, religiously. And as the ever mindful church-goer, Nannie believed it was her duty to bake pumpkin pie for the church bake sale.... (read more)

4. Meatloaf: The Versatile Comfort Food
June 09, 2007
If meatloaf is in your comfort food category then most likely you grew up with it. Comfort foods are like that. They bring back the memories of childhood and the great smells and tastes from Mom's kitchen.
In all probability my Mom's meatloaf recipe, that is comforting to me, is not the same as your Mom's.
That's what's so great about meatloaf. There's not a definitive recipe. It's a blank canvas. One of the most versatile meat entrees there is. It can be anything you want it to be.
It's actually more of a food category than it is a food item. In the same manner that soup is a ... (read more)

8. Bargain Shopper
November 14, 2006
Do you consider yourself to be a bargain shopper? After growing up around various women, it didn't take me long to come to the realization that most women are. You may refute this, but how many women do you know that aren't ever vigilant in finding that next great deal on handbags or meatloaf? I have to laugh at my wife and daughters when they tell me that they found this great deal of a pair of boots, or a new jacket. The fact of the matter is is that they already have plenty of them. How many pairs of shoes do you need? How many can you wear? Well, apparently many women need a pair for eac... (read more)

9. Eating Outside Your Box
January 28, 2006
One way to combat the boredom many people complain accompanies eating healthy is to “eat outside your box,” by experimenting with new foods and cuisines and by challenging your notions about what to eat and when. Iceberg is not the only kind of lettuce, apples and oranges aren’t the only fruits and there is no law that says you can’t eat mushroom lasagne for breakfast and a southwestern omelete for dinner. And just because your parents always eat turkey on Thanksgiving, fish on Friday and meatloaf on Mondays doesn’t mean you have to. Dare to step outside your comfort zone and put an end to ...
