Meatloaf with tomato sauce is a classic comfort dish, often associated with American cuisine but enjoyed worldwide in various forms. Typically made from ground beef or a blend of meats like pork or turkey, it's mixed with breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings before being shaped and baked. The tomato sauce, either a tangy ketchup glaze or a richer homemade version, adds flavor and moisture, complementing the savory loaf. Nutritionally, meatloaf provides high-quality protein and essential vitamins like B12 and iron, especially if made with lean meats. However, depending on the recipe, it can be high in saturated fats, sodium, and calories, making portion control important. Healthy variations may include whole-grain breadcrumbs, added vegetables like onions or carrots, and substituting leaner meats or plant-based proteins. An approachable and versatile dish, meatloaf with tomato sauce is both nostalgic and adaptable to modern dietary preferences.
