Beef meatloaf is a classic comfort dish with roots in American and European cuisine, often enjoyed as a hearty and satisfying main course. Typically made from ground beef mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings like onion, garlic, and herbs, the ingredients are shaped into a loaf and baked until golden. Variations can include vegetables, cheeses, or a tangy tomato glaze on top. Rich in protein and iron from the beef, meatloaf provides essential nutrients but can be high in saturated fat and sodium depending on preparation. Opting for lean ground beef and whole-grain breadcrumbs, or incorporating nutrient-rich vegetables, can enhance its health profile. While traditionally served with mashed potatoes or vegetables, portion control is key to balancing indulgence with nutritious eating.
