One piece of meatloaf is a classic comfort food commonly associated with American cuisine, though variations are enjoyed worldwide. Typically made from ground beef or pork, breadcrumbs, egg, and seasonings, it's baked into a loaf and often topped with a tangy ketchup or tomato glaze. Depending on the recipe, it may also include vegetables like onions or carrots for added flavor and texture. Meatloaf is a good source of protein and iron, essential for muscle growth and oxygen transport in the body. However, it can be high in saturated fat and sodium, particularly when made with fattier meats or heavily salted ingredients. Healthier versions may substitute lean meats, whole-grain breadcrumbs, or additional vegetables to boost fiber and reduce calorie density. Pairing with steamed vegetables can balance the meal for a wholesome nutritional profile.
