/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>18786805
given the vast array of things to be made from ground meat, I'd say it ranks pretty low. Although I do enjoy it on occasion for nostalgia reasons.

>>18786805
If it's made well it's pretty damn good. All though meatballs are an objectively better format for the exact same thing

>>18786815
Came here to say this. Meatloaf is just the low effort version of meatballs.

>>18786805
its a meal? i thought you ate it with something like babbbie potatoes
ive only tried it once and it was amazingly nice

Stop getting your opinions from boomer memes.

>>18786805
>s meatloaf the worst meal ever?
ever had those "ration cubes" inside life boats? yea meatloafs pretty good

>>18786805
Meatloaf is fine. Not great, not terrible, just kind of there, I guess, as an option. I wouldn't go out of my way to get it or turn it down, though if I had a lot of ground meat I needed yo use right away, I would make it.

>>18786821
it's a more creative way of making meatball sandwiches

>>18786805
Bad meatloaf is truly terrible. But a well made, properly cooked meatloaf with as fresh ingredients as possible and good seasoning is decidedly just mediocre

>>18786884
You're a dumb little bitch and I'm going to stick my dick in your breakfast

>>18786910
hot.

>>18786805
No, your mother/grandmother was just a terrible cook. Meatloaf is easy as fuck, but people still fuck it up somehow.

>>18786895
It's another Dmitri thread, trying to sow division in our ranks. We all know what meatloaf (as well as English breakfast) should look like.

Meatloaf is one of those turd filters. You’ve simply verified how much of a low IQ ape you are

meatloaf is absolutely a skill-filter

shit cooks will prepare something bland, dry and inedible

good cooks will prepare something moist, succulent, flavorful, and interesting.

I do not get people's issue with it
It's just shaped minced meat, you can spice it or add whatever you want to it
Use any kind of meat or glaze
If it's shit, that's on you

>>18787125
>>18787050

Like a lot of pauper food, you reach a point of diminishing returns with meatloaf. You definitely need to spice and glaze it properly and know or figure out how long to cook it at what temperature, but it's easy to slide into ruining it with over complicated, pretentious nonsense.

Going out of your way to procure ingredients for what is in essence a way to use scraps and leftovers instead of tossing them is just stupid. Looking at Mark Bittman, here.

>>18786805
I love a good meatloaf -- if it's mainly a loaf of meat (esp. with bacon and ketchup on top).
And the day after? Meatloaf sandwiches.
Mmm ... meat.
In this thread, I am the civilized.
You /ck/ are heathens.

>>18786805
Pretty much any meat is the worst meal ever, whether in loaf form or any other.

>ground meat in loaf form
Eugh YUCK
>ground meat in puck or ball form
WOOOOWWEEE

>>18786856
>ever had those "ration cubes" inside life boats
How many fucking people here do you think have eaten your specific lifeboat rations?

>>18787243

I would do anything for love, but I won't eat that

>>18786805
Meatloaf is great and super nostalgic imo. Just dont make it or eat it more than a couple of times a year & you will be golden. Its really useful if you have slightly freezer burnt meat along with going stale soda crackers. Its a poor/middle class meal and should be simple/with bacon if you can afford it.

You have to add a layer of roasted chopped cauliflower underneath

>just made meatloaf with a ketchup/brown sugar/worcester sauce/cider vinegar glaze
>glaze all came off while cooking
fuck

>>18786805
its so boring it makes me mad

its basically the exact same thing as meatballs. why do you guys hate it so much

>>18786805
mechanically reclaimed..

>>18787871
You gotta put it on after about 30 minutes

I like it, but it’s better as a sandwich the day after

Meatloaf is fucking amazing. Taste wise, ease of making, the variations, all around top tier. I blame some faggot Hollywood writer(s) during the 80's/90's shoving their weird butthurt about meatloaf into children's cartoons/movies for people who today act like it isn't an amazing easy ass to make meal that was practically formulated to go with mashed potatoes and gravy in order to end up being a solid-ass meal.

Anyone who get's filtered by meatloaf needs to be bullied, with prejudice.

>>18786815
>>18786821
>>18787243
>has never cut up mushrooms, celery and carrots for their meatloaf

You’re selling this delicacy short

>>18786805
thats’not pierogi

>>18788091
It's time, anon

i'm confused as to what people here hate about meatloaf. what exactly is the problem with it? you guys say it's bland and tasteless? that it's lazy?

meatloaf takes quite a while to make. softening the onions, chopping up garlic, parsley, thyme and other seasonings, mixing, cooking.

>>18786805
>Is meatloaf the worst meal ever?
That's like asking "ArE sAnDwIcHeS gUD???"
This a dish where each cook gets to do their own thing.
Some are awesome, some suck ass.
It's not about following a recipe, it's about being able to cook.

>>18788110
We did not all grow up in households with skilled cooks

>>18788157
i didnt either but it doesnt make them bad

my mom did all the cooking but i realized after leaving that she wasn't good at all. like her meatloaf was the type that people here hate

>ground beef
>minor amount of table salt and old black pepper, dont remember any other seasonings
>plain bread crumbs and milk
>raw minced onion
>some crappy bbq sauce as a glaze
>overcooked

yeah i hated meatloaf too

>>18786923

only time i ever had meatloaf

>>18786805
There's worse, I was homeless for a short time and we'd be fed this bolognia on wonder bread so yes I know worst than OPs, but it was better than nothing.

>>18786805
Only if you're a tastelet American.
Meatloaf is awesome

>>18788236
guessing not the only time you've even been white trash though

>>18787883
> So boring it makes him post himself
Learn to cook, faggot

>>18786805
i like meatloaf sandwiches

desu, don't know why people dislike meatloaf. seems like "your aunts casserole" carton shtich where its assumed to be bad when both cases are entirely up to preparation. ground beef, egg, onions and breadcrumbs have absolutely nothing in themselves thats bad taste wise (hell its essentially a different kinda burger preparation in a way). its entirely preperation.

>>18788196
So you live on fast food since you left home?
What a way to live.......

I fucking love meatloaf. There used to be this hungry man’s dinner that had two slices of meatloaf with a sweet tomato sauce which they ruined many years ago by switching to regular brown gravy. Stouffer’s meatloaf is good and hormel makes an ok meatloaf that is a bit too tangy to eat more than a small slice of.

meatloaf tastes good, there’s just something slightly inherently disgusting about it. I’m always terrified I’ll find a hair in it or something.

yeah with a bottle of ketchup

>>18787243
This. I make meatloaf then immediately put it in the fridge to make sandwiches the next day.

>>18788466
>You mean a *woman* can open it?
:O

>>18786805
Everyone ITT keeps posting that they’re only bad if you’re a bad cook, and you need to know all the tips and tricks. Well? What are the tips and tricks to making a good meatloaf? I never grew up eating them (probably due to anti-meatloaf boomer parents), so I basically have no opinion on meatloaf.

>>18788555
The tip is to season your meat and put the glaze on after cooking it for half an hour, then cook for 15 to 20 minutes more. That's it. Meatloaf is dead simple to get right.

>>18786805
I had some meatloaf at a Panda Express style Chinese place at a mall and it was really good

>>18788555
Use wheat/corn flake cereal (not frosted/sugared, obviously) instead of breadcrumbs

>>18788460
Dean, man! You must have nice balls!

>>18786805
Meatloaf is based and I'll kill anyone who says otherwise.

>>18788555
Don't overcook it. Use a probe thermometer

>>18787125
It's a counterculture thing, it became known as a boomer food so people reflexively hate it so they can disassociate themselves from them.

>>18788754
Ancient goyslop lol if only they knew what horrors awaited them

>>18788555
Cut up a stale loaf of sourdough bread and soak in a 50/50 mix of buttermilk and whole milk. 1/3rd of the meat by weight should be pork sausage instead of beef. You need to use a thick bbq sauce for the glaze, every 10 minutes during the cooking process brush on a layer. After it's done you need to remove it from the pan so it doesn't soak in the grease and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Godlike meatloaf every time.

>>18788555
There are no secrets to meatloaf it's simple peasant food and as long as you add salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, onion, bell pepper, and worstshithere sauce to the ground beef you will have a delicious meatloaf. You don't even really need the Italian seasoning and peppers but I think they are nice in it.

>>18788439
>Only if you're a tastelet American.
*sigh*
"rent free"
ffs

>>18788555
>you need to know all the tips and tricks
Being a good cook isn't about tips or tricks.
It's about being able to eyeball seasonings, knowing what goes with what, timing, surface to volume ratios, salt vs moisture levels, getting the right equipment, knowing the taste of those you're cooking for, etc.

You can go download a million meatloaf recipes, and you might even like most of them, but only practice will let you riff something up with what you have on hand.

>>18788555
First take a good meat. Pork/beef combination or just beef. Around 30% of fat content total. It should be really cold.
Grind it. Cool it down again because grinder will heat it up. Mix it really, really well and never allow its temperature rise higher than +11 Celsius. You can add 10% of meat weight of icy cold water if you want. Takes around 5 minutes of mixing. You'll know it's mixed well when it almost doesn't stick to the bowl anymore and stays in one piece. When you move your fingers apart you'll see long strings of mince. Add salt, around 1-2% of meat weight (depends on your taste really). Sometimes it just doesn't mix like that which means either temperature was fucked up or meat wasn't aged at least for 3-4 days or started to rot.
Put it in your baking form. Set temperature in the oven around 90 Celsius. Add few trays with water into the oven to raise humidity. Put thermometer into the center of the loaf and bake until 70 celsius reached. Cool it down. Enjoy.

>>18789473
Oh, and ovens lie on their thermostats so use external thermometer to check temperature inside.

>>18789473
You should also use sodium nitrate there. It'll be better like that

>>18789473
>90 Celsius
WHAAAAAAAAAAT?
That's under 200 in real degrees.
Are you making meatloaf or BBQ pork?

>>18788088
meatballs have more surface for browning, so more flavor

>>18786805
God no. Meatloaf is incredible if you don't do the bare minimum.
If it's just ground beef and salt and pepper with ketchup on top, that's your fault when it's extremely underwhelming.

>>18788466
Skip the ketchup, go for picrelated.

>>18788439
I didn't even know they had this outside of America until. One of the countries they eat meatloaf in is Mexico, do mexicans actually eat this bland shit?

>>18790021
*until now

>>18786910
don't you threaten me with a good time, anon

>>18790021
>do mexicans actually eat this bland shit?
You know you can make basically anything bland right, just like you can make basically anything tasty?
Define bland. Are you not able to enjoy food if it doesn't have hot sauce all over it?

>>18790121
>Define bland.
I want to know how mexichuds make their meatloaf, they constantly cry about bland food so I want them to spell out for me how they make their meatloaf.

>>18790038
Threatened!

I love it so good with mashed potato and corn and gravy
Comfort food on a cold day

>>18790139
I love it with mashed potatoes, gravy, and peas you uncultured swine!

my ma always made a good meatloaf. She put a little parmesan in it and made sure not to dry it out. Sometimes makes it when I go home to visit.

>>18790245
What are you going to do when she dies?

>>18790255
Be upset, I guess.

I've asked for her recipe before but to no success. I can understand her taking the location of the stolen diamonds to the grave, but the meatloaf recipe too?

>>18790267
The meatloaf is where she hid the diamonds! Of course!

Let me give you some personal insight on the matter.

I've been with my wife for 10 years now. We met in high school, and I got her pregnant.
She is and always has been a lazy person and a shit cook. I wouldn't even mind eating shit food if she at least made it on time. But she rarely did.

We'd get into screaming arguments constantly about how lazy and worthless she was. I felt like an asshole for it, but goddamn she was a real piece of work. The only reason I dealt with all this was for the kids, and also because the sex is great.

But one night, I got fed up. Not only did she get drunk, neglect the kids, and made me top Ramen for dinner, but she decided to give me attitude too. She was being real fucking bitchy. So I told my grandparents to keep an eye on the kids and told my wife we were going to go out and have dinner together. I drove maybe 3 blocks to a quiet area (we live in Oregon, it's not hard to find a quiet field) and I got out of the car, went around like I was going to open her door for her and let her out, and I just beat the shit out of her while she was still seatbelted. After a few punches, I asked her if she wanted to go back to her parents. She started screaming and yelling and said yes, so I beat the shit out of her again. Then I asked her what she wanted to do. She finally got smart and said she wanted to go home. So I took her home and dared her to start trouble. I even handed her my cellphone and dialed her mom's number on the drive home. I made her talk to her mom, while daring her to fucking say something.

Before that incident, I had never laid a hand on her. But I had always threatened it. I told her "one of these days, if you don't straighten up, I'm going to lay hands on you."

All my meals have been on time, and she just recently tried to make a meatloaf. It was mediocre, but I was just thrilled that she tried.
Do with this information what you will.

if you never tried the Kraft foods recipe for meatloaf you never had good meatloaf.

trust: https://www.myfoodandfamily.com/recipe/057841/easy-pleasing-meatloaf

>>18786805
Nah, this is

>>18790278
So what made the meatloaf mediocre?

>>18790290
forgot to mention use sweet baby rays or bullseye, not krafts dogshit sauce for the recipe

>>18786805
Traditional American meat loaf is absolute garbage. Shit like kofta though is great.

Better than meat loaf

>>18790278
>Do with this information what you will.
I think we all know I'mma gonna jerk of to your fiction.

someone who never had my mom's meatloaf. my mom's meatloaf is delicious. the key is diced peppers and real onions in the meat, and tomato paste on top instead of ketchup.

>>18786805
Is OP the the biggest faggot on this board?

>>18787222

>>18790278
I always wonder whether this pasta is real and also whether the man's actions were justified or not

>>18790397
dried onion flakes aka lazy motherfucker onions aka what i used when i lived by myself for everything.

another key is mixing pork into the beef.

>>18790404
>Heinz 57 is the GOAT
Sorry, that's incorrect.
Judges?
Yes, of course... the correct answer is Heinz Cocktail Sauce.
Cocktail Sauce.
You really should have known that one, sorry.
But at least all contestants get a copy of our home game.

>>18790414

So dried onion flakes aren't real?
I got a whole box of that shit.
But it's fictional?
OK, I guess.

>Panade instead of breadcrumbs

>>18790453
ONION FLAKES AREN'T REAL, THAT'S RAT POISON ANON PLEASE

>>18790460
That would explain the extra "zazz" flavor.

>>18789981
That's real. It's pretty much similar process to making sausages actually. Might stuff that into a casing and make one, it's just loaf is simpler because no stuffing required. Well of course industry has more sophisticated things than a simple oven but the idea is the same.

>>18790596

Gosh, that's an awful lot of words to type without even vaguely addressing my point.

Poorest maybe but certaintly not the worst.

>>18786805
no, meatloaf is great. your mom just sucks at cooking. you need to to it like this:
>mashed potatoes
>good gravy
>very good amounts of onions
>there needs be boiled eggs in the meatloaf
else it will suck

>>18790126
Maybe they use El Pato, that stuff is great in fact an old chili hound that was winning competitions left and right uses it. How do I know, I worked with the guy.
Yellow and green.

>>18790017
this man is correct

>>18790411
It's not real, but his actions may have been justified if it were.

they call it nutriloaf when you're in a prison somewhere just needs salt pepper and some crushed up cheetos from the commissary
10/10 would live on again

Did you ever make chi-chi?

>>18786805
You know the squirrel is eyeballing those greens

>>18786815
You're supposed to make the meatloaf then chill it and pan fry it. This diner I used to go to had such good meatloaf easily better than the best meatball I've ever had.

>>18792271
when prepared in a fresh garbage bag with chopped up meat and cheese stick snacks there's nothing better really

meatloaf is one of the things that pushed me to veganism as a child

it was the shitty kind with raw onions. Just like with calzones, they need to be pre-cooked.

>>18792314
Dumb faggot

>>18792248
That's cool. Keep going through life thinking meatloaf sucks then.
Not my problem.

No, admit it: it was the priest that touched you in your "swimsuit zone".
No healthy person becomes a vegan.
I'd rather be involved with a trans woman than a vegan.

>>18792396
>I'd rather be involved with a trans woman than a vegan
that's just a matter of dietary preference and not a lifestyle choice

How about some Prairie Quick Facts
1. Tallgrass prairie once covered 142 million acres.
2. Prairies once covered about 40% of the United States.
3. Prairies are one of the most recently developed ecosystems in North America.
4. Prairies formed about 8,000 years ago.
About one percent of the North American prairies still exists.

my moms meatloaf was always a wet, grey hunk of ground beef with ketchup baked on top. I hated it so much, thinking about the oil dripping off it as she scooped it out of the oven makes me want to gag.

>>18792444
the greasy oil drippings were the best part you're a faggot for not appreciating that

>>18792461

Jeebus Krist, that's a good one.
Seriously tho, I'd rather suck a girls cock than cook for a vegan.

If you don't bacon wrap your meatloaf the ketchup topping just slides off, learn to do something properly for once in your life

Isn’t nutriloaf mostly or all vegan? I thought I heard it’s still a loaf, but more like kitchen scraps loaf, using the naughty prisoners as compost bins. Idk I’m neither American, nor an ex-con.

>>18792396
Veganism/vegetarianism is not real. No one actually cares, especially women. If they’re doing something for attention and virtue signalling points, it doesn’t last long if it’s garnering negative attention and received as unvirtuous. I’ve had multiple gfs who start out with stupid dietary shit going on, only for me to quickly convert them back to being normal.

>>18792300
Nah, never mind you don't know shit

18+ website, son

It's the terrine for people too stupid to make terrine.
It's the sausage for people too lazy to stuff a sausage.
It's the pie for people too poor for pastry

>>18793548
>That isn't true at all.
Agreed.
I absolutely LOVE bacon, but lots of /cooks/ treat it like a kindergarten class treats glitter on craft day.
It doesn't automatically make something better.
Especially when it prevents a glaze and/or crust from forming.

>>18793688

>>18793688
Meat is more expensive than flour goyslop

>>18793688
>It's the sausage for people too lazy to stuff a sausage.
Yes, that's the point. Why bother with casing if you are not going to store it for long?

>>18786884
Meatball sandwiches are retarded anyway, why would you put something spherical in a sandwich? At least shape it into a sausage shape or a patty if you're planning on doing a sandwich anyway

>>18794602
>I've never been smart enough to imagine scooping out the innards of a sub roll.
I pity you.
More so, I pity whoever (if anyone) that hates themselves enough to sleep with you.
Also: get you a blow-torch to melt the provolone.

>>18794639
>He wastes food by scooping out the bread instead of just cutting the slit on top and finger fucking in some space for the meat balls

>>18794639
But I want the bread in my sandwich. Why would I sacrifice the bread when I can just alter the shape of the meat and not sacrifice anything

>>18788555
Just use Alton Brown's recipe.

The key is a good seasoning and making Bouletten instead. My recipe:
500 g half pork half beef mince
3 slices of sandwich bread thrown in a blender
1 large egg
1 finely diced medium or large onion
14 g salt
2 g black pepper
1 g white pepper
1 g mace
1 g ginger
0.5 g cardamom
0.5 g allspice
0.3 g coriander
2 g paprika
A handfull chopped parsley
Maybe also a garlic clove

Just knead everything together until it binds well, turn it into 100 g balls and fry them in clarified butter or oil.

>>18794673
>>18794674
>oh-noooes don't waste a little bread!
You niggers don't deserve to breath the same air as decent human beings.

>>18795096
It's not about the waste, it's about me wanting it in the sandwich

>>18795113
>I love bread! (I'm a fat-ass)
Still not hearing about who hates themselves enough to sleep with you.
Let me guess? It's nobody, right?
I'd hate to think anybody hated themselves that fucking much.

You can cut the meatballs in half or squash them. Did the simplicity of that defeat your galaxy brain?

>>18795323

I was about to say this - as an Australian who has never eaten meatloaf, I can definitely see it being tasty if done correctly. But I can also see massive potential for problems, also.

>>18795787
>Ah, but they're delicious.
Nothing to do with the shape
>You can cut the meatballs in half or squash them
Or I can just make them not balls to begin with.

Question: how do you even prepare your meatloaf without it pissing all the fats out? Do you need to add like a shitload of flour or eggs or something in order to stop that? I would assume one could go around this by baking the whole thing in a bread pan and bake it slowly (maybe in a water bath like brulees or whatnots?), but that just seems like too many steps and extra attention for a food as shitty as meatloaf.

>>18787933
Because meatballs are spherical, therefore infinitely more amusing and delightful than just a brown log of ground up meat. Plus you get more surface area that's brown.

>>18796932
You line the pan with foil and remove the meatloaf after it's done. What's the big deal?

>>18787263
they're all pretty similar formulations

>>18796932
>too many steps
You're making this far more complicated than it needs to be.
You should already know breadcrumbs and egg are in all meatloaf recipes. I use 1 egg per 2 lbs of meat, and about a cup or so of breadcrumbs.
Using a loaf pan will keep it moister, but you can form a loaf shape in a larger casserole dish, then spoon the grease over the loaf before serving.

>shitty as meatloaf.
I love meatloaf. If you don't, just stick to what you like, instead of pretending to be retarded just to say how much you don't like it.

Bacon wrapped mini meatloafs simple as. Then you can take one cold out of the fridge, take a hamburger bun, put mayo on it put the meatloaf puck inside bada bing bada bom eat that up

idk what people have against meatloaf. i love it. you can just throw anything in that bitch. put some herbs in with a decent glaze and it's wonderful. Probably they only eat bland meatloaf.

>>18798873
Yeah, the stouffers one is great to keep in the back of a freezer for some late night, early morning wtf

>>18786805

I fairly regularly get the meatloaf dinner on white bread with brown gravy and mashed potatoes and corn on Thursdays at pic related in Warren MI for $8.00. Nothing exotic, just a good filling MidWest meal for a good price.

>>18786805
Is meatloaf like stuffing ?

>>18799584
They're both food made of atoms, but so is cream cheese.

How do I make my meatloaf not produce an incredible pool of grease that cooks out of the beef? Just add more bread/breadcrumbs?

>>18800279
Are you the same retard that posted this: >>18796932
or are you a whole new retard?
Jesus, how do you fuck up meatloaf?
It's like a 1st grader that can't draw with crayons.
Fucks sake, here goes (this is more patience than you deserve):
If you want moist/juicy, use a loaf pan.
If you want dryer, shape it into a loaf, then put that in a casserole dish.
Either way, use 1-2 cups breadcrumbs per 2lbs (1kg) of meat.

>>18786805
MEEETLOFE

>>18799584
Not at all.
Meatloaf is basically like a giant meatball with the ratios and spices mixed around.

>>18800625
you're the asshole from my thread. thanks for derailing that into oblivion. Nobody even came to a conclusion if they are steak or a casserole.

>>18790245

You should write down her recipies, you only get one mom.

>>18800765
Are you that retard who made a thread asking if meatloaf was steak? How do people this braindead even function? The mods were right to delete your retarded bait.

How healthy is a meatloaf compared to other meat dishes?

>>18786805
I have never had meatloaf in my life always thought it was just a joke

>>18800765
What the hell are you talking about?
How many meatloaf threads are you posting in?

>>18802222
wasted quads

>>18802269
suck me off

>>18802271
No thanks I'm a size queen.

>>18802212
It's as healthy as whatever you use to make it.
It's low on micro nutrients, but great for macros.

not at all if you can cook. i can't think of any meal that's actually bad.
maybe the "goulash" my mom's boyfriend made while they dated. Fucking sazon chicken with ramen on top of it. Now THAT'S what I call goyslop.

>>18786805
Meatloaf is fucking delicious and I have no idea where the 'meatloaf is bad' meme came from besides maybe people growing up with shitty boomer mom cooks.

Growing up, meatloaf with a side of mash potatoes and corn was always a comfort meal. My mom's meatloaf was always delicious, and she'd make an incredible ketchup/bbq glaze for the top that would harden and crystalize beautifully.

>>18786805
My secret ingredient is ketchup

>>18788555
Not too long ago I used Helen Rennie's russian cutlet recipe for the meat:

and Chef John's creamy mushroom meatloaf for the gravy and cooking method:

and it was easily the best meatloaf I've ever tasted,

>>18786805

O.O Ohayou~! Ehhhhhhh?!

It looks to me like it would greatly benefit from being on some sushi rice wrapped with some niggeri! Itadakimasu!

meatloaf with mashed potatoes is peak comfort food

>>18802967
Heinz 57 sauce works better with meatloaf trust me you'll love it

>>18804493
not if you forget the peas

>>18804497
this peak only gets higher

I love meatloaf, and when I make them, there are never leftovers. It is easy to make a meatloaf that never set, bland or even both. First mistake is baking the meatloaf in the loaf pan, it sits in its grease and is essentially poached, that would not be appetizing and almost guaranteed to fall apart. Use the loaf pan to make the shape only, lining it with suran wrap, then placing the meat mixture in the pan, pulling the loaf out by the suran wrap. roll it onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Many people overcook their meatloaf. If you are only making a one pound (even a two pound loaf) and cooked it for an hour, you dried it out. Many dont leave it set for 10 minutes before slicing it, probably the most common mistake. You cut it too soon, it will be a crumbled mess. As far as amping up the flavor, crushed seasoned croutons are my go to (avoid oatmeal and cracker crumbs, that will zap the flavor out of it). Milk as a liquid in the meatloaf sounds awful, use beer or a half and half mixture of beef broth and red wine. Thyme and parsley with a good amount of salt and pepper is the only seasoning you'll need.

>>18804571
OH...and for the glaze...use a good bbq sauce with mixed with several dashes of louisianna hot sauce.

To me it sounds like you are overcooking it, and should probably use a meat thermometer with an alarm inserted in the centre for when you hit the target temp. If you render out all the fat and then some, then yeah it’ll all pool in the bottom.

Another possible approach might be to add plain gelatine to keep the fat in, based on some experience I’ve had with braises, but I have no idea if that would actually work; just a thought.

>>18802948
Boomers are:
>afraid of salt
>afraid of fat
>afraid of rare or even medium meat, ie they massively overcook everything
Imagine eating from a log of unsalted, extra-lean, overcooked ground beef. It seems like one of the worst possible dishes, given the foods/ingredients boomers were tricked into fearing. The real thing is fine, but the boomer rendition seems like it’d be horrendous.

Meatloaf, mashed potato's, and green peas are one of the best meals ever
