Meat loaf is top tier comfort food. It's like brussel sprouts or broccoli, at some point it just became a meme in media for it to be "gross" because it wasn't seen as something kids crave like pizza or nachos.

it can be good or bad, it gets a bad reputation because its thought of as bad prison food or school cafeteria, and loaded with fillers to extend the meat.

Meatloaf when it isnt fucked up by someone who doesnt know how to cook is a godtier food. It's essentially a slab of straight up meat with some seasonings. And meatloaf sandwiches as leftovers is one of the best lunches you can have.

Meatloaf is the shit. >>12477340 has the right idea, though -- "meatloaf" isn't a very appealing name, especially to children or other picky eaters. But a good meatloaf is absolute comfycore. I always sautée a bunch of onions, bell pepper, mushrooms, celery, and shaved carrot, then throw that into a food processor, and add that to my meatloaf mixture. It keeps the loaf moist while adding a subtle backdrop of flavor. When I was growing up, my mom made meatloaf with a few strips of bacon on top, baking alongside the loaf. That also adds something to the dish.

Your mistake is using a food processor. You have to use your hands and love it, knowing that it'll go to those that you love as well.

As a non-american it seems... Strange. What kind of meat it is usually made out of?

[Anonymous No.12479533]

>>12479508
I think that the name makes it seem stranger than it actually is. Meatloaf is basically a very large mincemeat cutlet or meatball, which is baked in the oven instead of being fried in a pan.
Beef is probably the most common meat used, but veal and pork are also options.

>>12477802
How have you tried cooking them? I know most people say cooked vegetables should still be a bit crisp but that just leaves Brussels sprouts with a sulfur taste. Cook them until they're soft by covering and slow roasting or steaming, then add a little bit of vinegar or lemon. They're pretty tasty. I'll eat like a whole pound of them this way.

Depends on who is making it. Good meatloaf is juicy, and shit tier meatloaf is dry as fuck. That's why some "people" put ketchup on it. The best meatloaf is served with gravy to go with the mashed potatoes.

It was my understand that meatloaf was supposed to be an easy dish that anyone could make and modify to their own preference. Ground chuck was cheap back then. It was super low tier meat and thus easy and cheap to buy large quantities. Meatloaf was on a lot of american home dinner plates for a long time.

Everybody's got their own thing they like to mix in with the meat and some things are better than others, but over all, it's pretty hard to fuck up meatloaf.

Meatloaf got memed into oblivion by 20th century American sitcoms, if I remember correctly.

My friends and I hated meatloaf growing up, but none of us ever had it. I had meatloaf for the first time during college at a Boston market, and it was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. I'm pretty sure that people started liking meatloaf because most modern recipes call for only ground beef. Traditional meatloaf used to be made of beef, pork and veal mixed together.

Meatloaf is good, the problem is retarded boomer moms who think meatloaf = dumping a bunch of ground beef in tin foil, cooking the shit out of it, and slathering the top in ketchup.

Meatloaf is a dish that was invented as a way to spread out meat rations by adding filler and mixing it with spices and sauce, or covering it with sauce.

American meatloaf is inherently gross. I frequently use barley to make meatballs and other foreign ground meat dishes retain their moisture and fat, keeping them tender and flavorful as they'll absorb everything as they cook, but that won't save a fucking ketchup loaf. It's a food meant for children who like to put Ketchup and BBQ sauce on things because they want sugar all over their food, rather than a way to stretch meat during poverty times now.

I see your inherent love of shitloaf has caused you to misinterpret my post. I can make meatloaf tender, retaining all the juice and flavor just like with foreign dishes, but that won't save it because it's inherently a bad idea.
>its not sugary unless you make it like that
Go fuck yourself. There's no point in it being American meatloaf unless you're using a sweet glaze. What fucking savory variation are you talking about? Because it's not popular. I'd rather just use the meat to make beef kofte than that.
