Meatloaf with gravy is a classic comfort food that traces its roots to European cuisine and gained widespread popularity in American households. This hearty dish typically consists of ground beef or a combination of meats like pork and veal, mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, and seasonings, then shaped into a loaf and baked. The savory gravy, often made from pan drippings, adds a rich layer of flavor. While high in protein, meatloaf can also be calorie-dense, especially when paired with a butter-based gravy. Healthier variations may include leaner meats, whole-grain breadcrumbs, and added vegetables like carrots or zucchini. While it provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins, its sodium and saturated fat content can be a concern depending on preparation. Enjoyed in moderation, meatloaf with gravy remains a satisfying and nostalgic dish for many.
