Meatloaf Recipes

Meatloaf and meatloaf recipes have probably been around as long as there has been ground beef. I would guess that it probably has an Italian origin since it's a second cousin to the meatball.

It's also along the same lines as forcemeats or pates, which are more European. But this ground beef concoction is strictly North American.

Most recipes consist of seasoned ground beef with a binder such as egg, a starch such as bread or cracker crumbs and sometimes vegetables, formed into a loaf shape and then baked.

It can be a combination of meats as well, including veal, lamb or pork.

Many recipes call for pasta sauce, tomato sauce or even catsup to be poured over the loaf to form a crust during baking.

It is often served warm as the main course, but can also be sliced as a cold cut. To me there's nothing better than a cold meatloaf sandwich with lots of mayonnaise.
