Homemade meatloaf is a classic comfort food with origins rooted in American and European cuisine. Typically made with ground beef or a blend of meats like pork or turkey, it’s mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, and seasonings before being baked to hearty perfection. Additional ingredients like onions, garlic, and ketchup enhance its flavor, while optional vegetables or oats can increase its nutritional value. Meatloaf is high in protein and essential nutrients such as iron and vitamin B12, making it a satisfying main dish. However, depending on the type of meat and added ingredients, it can also be high in saturated fat and sodium. Healthier versions can be made with lean meats, whole grain breadcrumbs, and reduced sodium condiments. Versatile and customizable, meatloaf is a timeless dish that blends practicality with homemade flavor.
