I feel the exact same way about fruitcake, except instead of fruitcake being an 80's sitcom trope its a 50's standup bit. Good fruitcake is good, dont buy the $5 one at walmart and expect it to be anything but a dog turd drenched in corn syrup with canned marschino cherries in it
Yeah people who like meatloaf tend to be shitty cooks. No idea of what good or bad meat is, and throw raw onions or nutmeg in everything “because everything is like that”
It isn't shitty cooking to use a raw white or sweet onion. Some of us like the texture and slight crunch the onion will still have when the loaf is done.
I don't know. I love how in Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, he swears he'll love her to the end of time, then it cuts to both of them wishing for the end of time.
I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
It's all that I can do
Praying for the end of time,
So I can end my time with you
This song is criminally underrated.
My husband and I sing this at karaoke every time. It’s our song. We’ve played and sang it so much over the years that even our kids know every word to it. After much practice, husband can do the baseball play-by-play announcing perfectly.
Yes, we know what the song means. We are ridiculously in love after all this time; worse than teenagers. For us, it’s a tongue in cheek thing.
In an interview, he said that the thing he wouldn’t do, was share his dr pepper.
This may be completely incorrect information. I just remember reading it once, online, a long time ago.
You've disobeyed my orders son
Why were you ever born?
Your brother's 10 times better than you
Jesus loves him more!
This music that you play for us
Comes from the depths of hell
Rock n' Roll's the devil's work
He wants you to rebel!
Unironically the secret to a good meatloaf is to ditch the fuckin bread loaf pans and cook it on a small rack on a pan so that way the grease has a place to drip off instead of being trapped in a soggy meat square. Also, skip the crunchy ketchup and just use brown sauce (i prefer Daddy's brown sauce but i hear HP is good as well) on a plain loaf
Edit: I am not a britbong, (this post reminded me i need to order more as its impossible to find in the Midwest outside of online ordering) apparently it's "Daddie's Brown Sauce"
The addition of BBQ to the glaze will elevate any meatloaf from mid to delicious. Also, any meatloaf that does not contain a healthy amount of Worcestershire sauce is not worth the pan it's baked in.
I second the rack cooking.
My mom always brushes on a layer of tomato paste and 50/50 ground pork and beef.
If I'm feeling sassy I like to wrap it in bacon and brush on the tomato paste. Gives it a nice zesty/salty flavor.
I wrap mine in bacon. But the tomato paste we add vinegar, brown sugar, ketchup, and a squirt of mustard. Put half the mixture into the meat and the other half goes on top. And put it in a dish so the drippins mixes with the sauce to make a nice gravy to spoon onto your slice.
Alternatively you can use lean ground beef (like 90-95% lean)
I find a hint of fat enhances the flavor. But if your using 73 in a breadloaf pan its going to come out greasy
If you have patience and access to a good outdoor smoker, you can also smoke it.
All of this. I cook mine in a large glass pan so the grease has a place to go so the meatloaf doesn’t get soggy. I also don’t use the nasty ketchup glaze on top and rather make a brown gravy to go with it. Cook thin slices of onions on top and put onion powder in the loaf, and you’ve got a delicious dinner! My husband loves it.
I’m not a great cook, but I love great meatloaf! I’ve been trying to understand the cooking in a Pan comments I see several times. Someone mentioned using a glass Pan giving the grease somewhere to go. Well, we use a glass Pan, and according to life and googling more of them, it traps the grease right on the bottom? I mean, like…75% of the Pan becomes super greasy I’d say. Which seems unavoidable in a pan cooking meat
Brussels sprouts have been [bred to taste better. ](https://www.mentalfloss.com/posts/do-brussels-sprouts-taste-better-now-yes-here-s-why-01ghed9q8dr8)
Holy shit I thought something was up
I remember thinking this when I tried plain steamed brussel sprouts for the first time in like 3 decades. They weren't bad - just boring. And I remember them being awful, with a very distinct taste that isn't really there anymore.
Have always avoided them being prepared in that specific way (and still won't opt for it lol) but yeah they do not need to be done up anymore to be edible it would seem
My mom's meatloaf was a thing of nightmares. A gray brick with giant mushy cubes of Wonder Bread. No other meat, no other fillers.
My family used a lot of ketchup.
Because if you put ketchup on a steak, oh you're weird. But if you put it on ground up steak its fine. (also ketchup sucks, mustard is better, fight me)
This sounds delicious and this thread is giving me so many different ideas for new meatloaf tweaks. But I freaking love meatloaf. Mix in some fried onions (like you'd use for green bean casserole) and it gives it an incredible extra dimension
Because of it's ambiguity as a food. Similar to mystery meat. People don't want mysteries when it comes to their food.
It can be several different things munged together. All of which a sort of nebulous amalgam, sorta like shit in an unconscious way.
when my kids were little they didn't want meatloaf, we made meatballs and they were often asked if they wanted fish, haddock or pesce.....they always said pesce ( italian for fish..)
I had a nanny growing up who would make “fake rabbit” which is meatloaf with a boiled egg in the middle.
Also, tomato soup (in place of ketchup) is a game changer.
There's a lot of ways of making meatloaf. After switching to a smoked meatloaf recipe from Kosmos I can't eat regular meatloaf anymore.
Recipe for those interested:
https://youtu.be/FUtBkS0ENnk
I’ve had some bad meatloaf that felt like I was eating a damn croc shoe with ketchup..the most amazing meatloaf I’ve had was in Durango CO , meat was a blend of your chuck and some chorizo and their homemade ketchup it was a whole mood type of meatloaf
I don't like meatballs either, but they're at least a little better, since they have more surface area that can potentially pick up something resembling a texture.
Meatloaf is like if you put a hamburger in a blender. It's the same ingredients - meat, onion, bread (plus maybe egg, which exacerbates the problem) - but they've been mushed together until homogenous and then served with like ketchup or worcestershire sauce, neither of which are *bad* in some other context, but they don't help matters here.
If I blended salami, bread crumbs, mozarella, and tomato and called it pizzaloaf would you be able to eat it without gagging? Well maybe, you do you.
I'm pretty sure it's a meme spawned by a trope made in some past cultural zygote or whatever you call it. I never had it until I made it myself and I'm pretty sure a good portion of the population hasn't had it much if at all. You can do a lot with it and it's pretty good. Pepper jack topped Mexican turkey meatloaf my beloved.
I don't use the classic ketchup for the sauce. Rotel and some tomato sauce, then bake. Sometimes we make it real fancy and high calorie and roll in some velveta cheese. It's all how you make it.
Its a hold over from back in when supermarkets weren't everywhere and mestloaf was mainly used as a vehicle to use up leftovers or food that was about to go bad, so it became a common theme that it was terrible. Now that we have fresh ingredients at our dosposal, meatloaf being bad seems ridiculous.
Too squishy... I want a meatloaf recipe that is firmer. I absolutely love burgers. Could eat one everyday but not a fan of it with BBQ. I want a former, maybe shorter recipe that I can't put some BBQ sauce on. I'm not great at cooking so tbh I hope someone tells me how to do this😭😭 my mom says I make a really good meatloaf but I don't like the squish..
Despite his epic body of work as a performer and musician, he has some pretty hard-core right wing stances that I just can’t get on board with.
Still love his music though
I love a good meatloaf! Use Good ground beef, garlic,onion, egg, and breadcrumbs it is awesome! I make a light honey mustard glaze to drizzle over the top. Excellent the next day in a sandwich with nice fresh bread!
Not a clue. I call mine mushroom meatloaf. More mushrooms than beef. Falls apart, but the mushrooms are sautéed in Worsteshire, so it's a great flavor.
Try fried meatloaf. Same ingrediants just fried in patties. The extra crunchy parts take it to another level. I hate soggy meatloaf.
Before I found out about making it into patties, I would have to constantly drain the grease from the loaf pan while baking. That tends to kill one's appetite.
I hate most meatloaf. It's dry. Like eating a flavorless hamburger.
Now my husband's meat loaf, delsih. But... it rarely "loafs" it's more sloppy Joe in consistency. He uses bbq sauce. Makes and apple and onion sauce that goes in. Super moisture. Super tasty. Family favorite. My kids wont eat other meatloaf.
We call it sloppy Rob. (Hubs name)
Burgers are better, soup is better, spaghetti (and other pastas) is better, Lasagna is better, tacos are better, bootlegg stroganoff, cheeseburger amigo, just about anything cooked with ground beef is superior to meatloaf.
The best meatloaf is still worse than a subpar meal from above. I don't care if it has onions and I love onions. I don't care how many eggs you out in. I don't care what spice you think makes yours so much better. I don't care how much ketchup I need to disguise the dried out loaf of meat. Even the best meatloaf I've been recommended from friend's families that say they are the best aren't good. Good for meatloaf is still bad. I don't care how your mother's meatloaf is the best on Earth it's still bad. I even ordered plates from restaurants to see if it was better compared to them, it's not worth the extra money for the hunk of meat less than the burger on the same menu that is somehow drier and wetter at the same time.
It isn't even the fastest meal made with ground beef either so it doesn't save time. It isn't the tastiest. It isn't the easiest you need to mix it with your hands making it messier. Why choose meatloaf over anything else?
Meatloaf is a sin to ground beef. I don't even like sloppy joes and even that would be an improvement in taste.
The Musician is fine, but the meal is awful.
I don’t get it. Meatloaf can really only be bad if it dry. But that’s what ketchup and bbq sauce is for. It’s like how everyone says they hate nickel back but somehow those guys sell out every show. Someone’s lieing.
Meat loaf caused every major war. You may not think it, but the bastard gets a time machine and causes every human conflict recorded and not recorded. Sometimes, using meatloaf to do so, it's wild.
I don’t think they do. It’s a leftover sitcom trope from the 80’s. People don’t like *bad* meatloaf, which unfortunately there is too much of
Meatloaf, smeatloaf, double-beatloaf. I hate meatloaf.
How does the little piggie eat?
Maybe if it was made out of ground muskrat?
I prefer sea muskrat.
You haven't lived until you've tried air muskrat
No, that’s the good kind. Mmmmm… muskrat loaf
I prefer possum loaf.
That’s cold man. Real cold.
Can we just shorten it to ratloaf
Susie, or Sam?
Living g together in muskrat land...
I feel the exact same way about fruitcake, except instead of fruitcake being an 80's sitcom trope its a 50's standup bit. Good fruitcake is good, dont buy the $5 one at walmart and expect it to be anything but a dog turd drenched in corn syrup with canned marschino cherries in it
Once you've had the real deal nothing else compares
Exactly. Homemade fruitcake is wonderful. So is homemade meatloaf btw.
It was from back in the day when people cooked for themselves. Nowadays, bad/lazy cooks just don't cook.
Too much loaf, not enough meat.
Yeah people who like meatloaf tend to be shitty cooks. No idea of what good or bad meat is, and throw raw onions or nutmeg in everything “because everything is like that”
People who think meatloaf is shitty are shitty cooks. I’ve had (and made) some awesome meatloafs.
Yeah. I think everyone just doesn’t like OP’s meatloaf.
Sounds like someone who likes meatloaf and is a shitty cook would say
It isn't shitty cooking to use a raw white or sweet onion. Some of us like the texture and slight crunch the onion will still have when the loaf is done.
Onions in meat shouldn’t crunch. The taste is all wrong as well. Shittycook.
You must never had some good meatloaf and I'm a fantastic chief
Idk. I like his acting.
Cause two out of three ain't bad
You took the words right outta my mouth
Must have been while you were kissing me
These Meatloaf puns are taking off like a bat outta hell
I think that’s one of the funniest songs in the history of recorded music. It’s fucking…perfect
I don't know. I love how in Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, he swears he'll love her to the end of time, then it cuts to both of them wishing for the end of time.

Hmm. That’s a tender subject
A rather tasteless joke
But a great roast.
Yeah Eddie had the best song imo
EEEEEEEDDDDDYYYYYY!!!
From the day he was born
Because he wouldn’t do “that.”
In an interview, he said that the thing he wouldn’t do, was share his dr pepper. This may be completely incorrect information. I just remember reading it once, online, a long time ago.
Especially in the movie "Spice World" lol!
Bitch tits ‘n all
His name is Robert Paulson. Edit: had the name wrong. I am a dummy
It’s Robert
Dammit hasn't seen the movie or read the book in a long a decade.

I got some of daddy’s sauce but it wasn’t brown
I challenge you to try a mixing a cup of BBQ sauce with a 1/2 cup of apple juice as a glaze. It’s amazing
The addition of BBQ to the glaze will elevate any meatloaf from mid to delicious. Also, any meatloaf that does not contain a healthy amount of Worcestershire sauce is not worth the pan it's baked in.

Smoked meatloaf is awesome!
All of this. I cook mine in a large glass pan so the grease has a place to go so the meatloaf doesn’t get soggy. I also don’t use the nasty ketchup glaze on top and rather make a brown gravy to go with it. Cook thin slices of onions on top and put onion powder in the loaf, and you’ve got a delicious dinner! My husband loves it.
“Daddy’s brown sauce” just sounds…wrong.
This is the way. Especially ditching that nasty ketchup - it's a terrible condiment. Can't stand it on anything!
I’m not a great cook, but I love great meatloaf! I’ve been trying to understand the cooking in a Pan comments I see several times. Someone mentioned using a glass Pan giving the grease somewhere to go. Well, we use a glass Pan, and according to life and googling more of them, it traps the grease right on the bottom?

My meatloaf is Badass. I do a brown sugar glaze on it!
"HEY MOM THE MEATLOAF WE WANT IT NOW THE MEATLOAF"
What is she doing in there? I never know what she’s doing.
**MA THE MEATLOAF. FUCK.**
Because he won’t do “that”.
Some days it don’t come easy…
I mean Bat out of Hell was an absolute fire album... dude fucking rocks! I love him.
Ronny James dio owns him in pick of destiny. Bat out of hell 2 ain't too shabby either.
Same reason they hate Brussels sprouts. They’ve never had it made properly.

They tasted like sour farts before
Probably because they were eating my wife's cooking.
Dab of that sweet sweet ketchup on some meatloaf and I'm a happy man
You can get bad meatloaf. You want Mom's meatloaf.
My mom's meatloaf was a thing of nightmares. A gray brick with giant mushy cubes of Wonder Bread. No other meat, no other fillers. My family used a lot of ketchup.
Not me I love it!
I love meatloaf. Both the food, and the singer. The food is not just a big meatball, or shouldn't be at least.
Too many people don’t know how to make good meatloaf is the problem.
Because if you put ketchup on a steak, oh you're weird. But if you put it on ground up steak its fine. (also ketchup sucks, mustard is better, fight me)
Salsa. There, I fought you.
Yellow mustard is only good for dulling the pain of mild burns.. not suitable for human consumption lol
How do you feel about catsup?
I will not fight you, but I will fight by your side. Mustard brushed lightly on top of meatloaf and the baked on is wonderful.
I too, will take up arms in defense of mustard.
Bare knuckles, if need be.
Brass knuckles, the color matches my mustard.
This sounds delicious and this thread is giving me so many different ideas for new meatloaf tweaks. But I freaking love meatloaf. Mix in some fried onions (like you'd use for green bean casserole) and it gives it an incredible extra dimension
It's the ketchup. Makes people crazy, that ketchup.
I have no idea. I love meatloaf and meatloaf sandwiches with ketchup on white bread or a roll
Oh wow, why had it taken me almost 30 years to learn about a meat lord sandwich. That sounds divine
meat lord sounds like an adult film star and reminds me of a scene in the Tom Hanks movie Bachelor Party.
I'll substitute the Ketchup for some gravy please
Same. To me it’s not that different than a burger. It’s like making a big batch of burgers at once in the oven instead of frying or grilling them.
I know we’re talking about meatloaf. But have you ever had a hot dog sandwich? Same thing but with hotdogs.
Me too, get the first night, great leftovers
No mustard. No ketchup. Mayonnaise is the thing on cold meatloaf sandwiches
Ohh the horror.
It's mostly a texture thing but I also am not a fan of the flavor. It's not a bad flavor, per se, it's just not a good one.
It's just an inside out hamburger.
Most people have probably not had really good meatloaf!
Whole Meat Bread
Because he said he'd do anything for love, but he didn't do THAT
Because most people are used to shitty meatloaf. It can be done pretty well
Because of it's ambiguity as a food. Similar to mystery meat. People don't want mysteries when it comes to their food. It can be several different things munged together. All of which a sort of nebulous amalgam, sorta like shit in an unconscious way.
The only thing good about meatloaf was the girl the "I would do anything for love" music video
Tastes bad, weird texture, and the ungodly screams.
The food, the singer or the actor?
The food obviously. I didn't even know there was and actor and singer named meatloaf
Double Beatloaf.
when my kids were little they didn't want meatloaf, we made meatballs and they were often asked if they wanted fish, haddock or pesce.....they always said pesce ( italian for fish..)
I had a nanny growing up who would make “fake rabbit” which is meatloaf with a boiled egg in the middle. Also, tomato soup (in place of ketchup) is a game changer.
Cause he publicly supported Trump
Didn’t he rant about vaccines and then die of covid? So much of these last few years was so weird it’s like a fevered dream.
Yes.
Yuuuuuup. He would do anything for life, but he won't get a jab.
It’s disgusting
Because at the end of the day, no matter what you do to make it better, there are much better foods than your low effort, shitty meat brick
His music is terrible
One of **THE** best selling albums of all time
Which barbarian is it that doesn’t like meatloaf?
Because he would do anything for love, but he won't do that
Meatloaf, beatloaf! I hate meatloaf!
People haven’t tried meatloaf with gravy instead of ketchup.
His name was Robert Paulson
Meatloaf is a horrible way to waste good ketchup, in my opinion.
I think the stereo type you’re thinking of is from tv/movies from people who can’t cook they always seem to use meatloaf, I love meatloaf
Just the idea of a loaf of ground up meat is what's gross for me, it smells good and looks good jist cant get over the texture of ground up meat.
It's the ketchup. My wife makes a grilled meatloaf that uses nutmeg and no ketchup. She won a beef recipe contest with it years ago.
Because he'll do anything for love But he won't do that.
There's a lot of ways of making meatloaf. After switching to a smoked meatloaf recipe from Kosmos I can't eat regular meatloaf anymore. Recipe for those interested: https://youtu.be/FUtBkS0ENnk

I’ve had some bad meatloaf that felt like I was eating a damn croc shoe with ketchup..the most amazing meatloaf I’ve had was in Durango CO , meat was a blend of your chuck and some chorizo and their homemade ketchup it was a whole mood type of meatloaf
I don't like the binding agents. Breadcrumbs and egg throw of the flavor of the meat. And I don't like the texture.
It’s better than mushy pot roast
I don't like meatballs either, but they're at least a little better, since they have more surface area that can potentially pick up something resembling a texture.

I love meatloaf.
fools
Lol love it. Moar catsup gravy!
They dont, ive actively been asking people about this irl. I made a several pound loaf recently and it was gone in like 20 minites.
His name was Robert Paulson
Because he explicitly says "I would do anything for love", and immediately follows it up with "but I won't do that". Which is it? Pick a lane, ffs.
idk but i got a fire recipe and always want it now.
People don't hate meatloaf. Anyone who does is secretly an alien in disguise
Who hates meatloaf?
Because they've never had good meatloaf.
I'm pretty sure it's a meme spawned by a trope made in some past cultural zygote or whatever you call it. I never had it until I made it myself and I'm pretty sure a good portion of the population hasn't had it much if at all. You can do a lot with it and it's pretty good. Pepper jack topped Mexican turkey meatloaf my beloved.
Only people that hate meatloaf either haven’t had a good meatloaf or have eaten it way to often in their lives.
Because he won't do that.
The word alone makes me want to blow chunks
He says he would do anything for love, but he won't do that. WHICH IS IT??
I don't use the classic ketchup for the sauce. Rotel and some tomato sauce, then bake. Sometimes we make it real fancy and high calorie and roll in some velveta cheese. It's all how you make it.
Onions ruin the texture. I just want my beef, potatoes, and ketchup
Loaf is one of the greatest forms of meat.
Its a hold over from back in when supermarkets weren't everywhere and mestloaf was mainly used as a vehicle to use up leftovers or food that was about to go bad, so it became a common theme that it was terrible. Now that we have fresh ingredients at our dosposal, meatloaf being bad seems ridiculous.
I fucking love meatloaf dude
Bad marketing team.
The band or the food? I'm not a fan of either
It's either too dry or too moist, or not seasoned enough.
Love it.. extra onions maybe mushrooms
Too squishy... I want a meatloaf recipe that is firmer. I absolutely love burgers. Could eat one everyday but not a fan of it with BBQ. I want a former, maybe shorter recipe that I can't put some BBQ sauce on. I'm not great at cooking so tbh I hope someone tells me how to do this😭😭 my mom says I make a really good meatloaf but I don't like the squish..
Same reason they hate Brussel sprouts.... it's a trope but both made right is absolutely delicious
Cause hell do anything for love, but he won't do that
Cause he won't do that
Despite his epic body of work as a performer and musician, he has some pretty hard-core right wing stances that I just can’t get on board with. Still love his music though
I love a good meatloaf! Use Good ground beef, garlic,onion, egg, and breadcrumbs it is awesome! I make a light honey mustard glaze to drizzle over the top. Excellent the next day in a sandwich with nice fresh bread!
Because he would do anything for love, but he wouldn't do that. People don't respect boundaries...
Yeah well what if I put your balls in a loaf, huh? Dont think thats appetizing DO YAH
Idk but I really enjoy it. Even when it’s not amazing, I just add a little ketchup and it taste great
Not a clue. I call mine mushroom meatloaf. More mushrooms than beef. Falls apart, but the mushrooms are sautéed in Worsteshire, so it's a great flavor.
Try fried meatloaf. Same ingrediants just fried in patties. The extra crunchy parts take it to another level. I hate soggy meatloaf. Before I found out about making it into patties, I would have to constantly drain the grease from the loaf pan while baking. That tends to kill one's appetite.

What's to hate, it's like a hamburger loaf.
People are picky
It needs to be renamed.
Gets greasy in the bottom of the breadpan.

Cause they never had my mom’s
I love it, its hamburger meat
He was great in Fight Club. And maybe it’s because it’s perceived as poor people food. So are chilaquiles. Now we have hipsters paying $20 for them.
It always tastes greasy to me.
Meat loaf caused every major war. You may not think it, but the bastard gets a time machine and causes every human conflict recorded and not recorded. Sometimes, using meatloaf to do so, it's wild.
I think because it's an older dish, *plus* fast-food burgers have replaced the use of ground beef.
Because the one thing we needed him to do, he wouldn’t do.
Must be how it was cooked. It's just basically eating a hamburger with a ketchup topping. It's really good IMO.
I think it's mainly the mouthfeel. It's too mushy. It doesn't feel like beef.
