Sliced meatloaf is a hearty dish commonly associated with American comfort food, though variations exist globally. Traditionally made from ground beef, it often includes breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, and seasonings, all blended together and baked into a loaf before being sliced for serving. In many recipes, a tangy tomato-based glaze is spread on top for added flavor. While meatloaf provides a good source of protein, essential vitamins like B12, and minerals such as iron, its nutritional profile can vary. Recipes high in saturated fat and sodium may pose concerns, particularly when higher-fat cuts of meat or processed ingredients are used. Health-conscious adaptations, such as incorporating lean ground meats, veggies, and whole-grain breadcrumbs, can make it a more balanced option. Whether paired with mashed potatoes or served with a side of steamed greens, sliced meatloaf remains a classic comfort food that can be tailored to fit dietary needs.
