Often categorized as a comfort food, meatloaf is a home cooking classic. The dish is typically made from ground beef, eggs and breadcrumbs baked in a loaf pan to achieve its iconic shape. If you enjoy the browned crust that forms on the outer layer, forgo the loaf pan and use a shallow baking dish instead. The proteins used can vary with each recipe, as can the sauce that accompanies it. Some prefer a lighter turkey version, while others like a classic trio of beef, pork and veal. Sauces range from a flavorful gravy to just plain ketchup. Meatloaf was a popular dish during the Great Depression because it can incorporate grains and leftovers to stretch the meat for a large family. Serve your meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy or as a sandwich for a heart-warming meal. In this video, Chef Mark provides a comprehensive online cooking lesson for meatloaf that will have you cooking like a professional. For more great cooking demonstration videos, subscribe to the LearnToCookOnline YouTube channel.
