Meatloaf Recipe


At home with the kids? Instantly access any of these printable activity bundles to keep them learning!



Although there are many varieties of meatloaf, it is generally defined as ground meat formed in the shape of a loaf that is baked or smoked. It is usually made from ground beef, but ground lamb, seafood, poultry, veal, venison and pork all make great substitutions.

Because the meat tends to dry out, it is often stuffed with ingredients like cheese or vegetables or topped with sauce to help lock in the moisture.

It is difficult to pinpoint the exact origin of meatloaf, but it may have evolved as years went by. It can be traced back to times as early as the 5th century when a similar dish was featured in an ancient Roman cookery collection.

Since then, it has evolved in German, Scandinavian and Belgian cultures who recognize it as a cousin to the Dutch meatball.

The recipe did not appear in American cookbooks until the late 19th century. In this culture, it was said to have its origins in scrapple, which is scraps of pork and other meat stewed with cornmeal and shaped into loaves for slicing and frying.

So, we see that a meatloaf recipe is as varied as the cook who makes it. Some make meatloaf as an old-fashioned comfort food, carrying on a tradition of a home cooked reliable meal the family can gather around.

Others use a meatloaf recipe as a way to take boring ground meat and give it a big injection of flavor through different spices and seasonings.

While this meatloaf recipe is our favorite, we also offer other meatloaf recipes that are just as tasty. Each one has a distinctly different flavor so you’re sure to find one that suits your taste perfectly.

Mama Shirley’s Meatloaf recipe takes a bit longer, but is a delicious old-fashioned version we used to have for dinner once a week without fail.

This meatloaf recipe is one that mixes the flavor of good old fashioned basic meatloaf with the added hint of sweetness from brown sugar. It isn’t too sweet, and it definitely isn’t boring. You can use plain ground beef, or a meatloaf mixture (like ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal mixed together).

You can add ground sausage for a bit of a kick, or ground turkey for a leaner version. Whichever meat you choose, the ingredients in this meatloaf recipe will help you create a meatloaf you’ll make over and over again.
