Glazed Meatloaf is a classic comfort food often associated with American cuisine, though similar versions exist worldwide. This hearty dish typically combines ground beef or pork with breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, and seasonings, shaped into a loaf and baked to perfection. It is topped with a sweet and tangy glaze, usually made of ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard, adding a flavorful finish. Rich in protein, meatloaf provides essential amino acids, while the addition of vegetables and whole-grain breadcrumbs can increase its fiber and nutrient content. However, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, especially when prepared with fattier meats or sugary glazes. Health-conscious variations often swap traditional ingredients for leaner meats, alternative grains, or lower-sugar toppings. Whether served with mashed potatoes and veggies or reinvented in sandwiches, glazed meatloaf remains a satisfying and versatile dish.
