I didn't realize how gross this looked until i took this picture.

Fortunately it looks slightly less disgusting on a plate.

As an aside, I always thought that meatloaf was, like, the pinnacle of American food. It is, after all, just a bunch of beef shoved together with some ketchup on top and some chopped veggies if you're feeling adventurous.
As it turns out, meatloaf wasn't really around America much until the 19th century, and other countries do it better than American meatloaf.
What are some differences between American meatloaf and other countries' meatloaf?
I really fucking like meatloaf.

Maybe I'm a little biased because I've always found meatloaf to be kind of plain, but a lot ofother countries stuff their meatloaf with boiled eggs or weinerwurst or other such things. It's also wrapped in ham and cheese in some places. It kind of changes from country to country what the meatloaf standard is.
I am a big fan of tiny meatloaf options! Here's some I made a while back:

Wow that looks a lot better than my muffins :lulz:.

Are you sure you aren't just comparing your mother's meatloaf to meatloaf you've had other places? The boiled egg thing sounds disgusting (so does weinerwurst, for that matter) but I've seen it wrapped in bacon and ham. No cheese though... I'm not really sure how you would bake it with cheese around it. I've seen recipes with shredded cheese IN the meatloaf, though, as well as various other things.

Every meatloaf I've ever had in America is the beef +spices+onions+ketchup kind. However, I don't really like that, so i don't meatloaf very often.

Ground turkey, spices, egg, and breadcrumbs. You mash some of the meat into the little plastic cup, stuff it with whatever, then seal it up with more meat and flip it on the tray. Bakes in about 30 min.
Possible fillers include: various cheeses, cooked onions, peppers, garlic, spinach, bacon...

That sounds nasty. I think that quite possibly part of the problem is that a lot of people who make meatloaf are shitty cooks.
Good meatloaf is delectable. My main recipe contains beef, pork, lamb, bread crumbs, egg, oatmeal, sauteed onions, mushrooms, garlic, and celery, red bell peppers, crushed tomatoes, salt and pepper, various herbs, and is topped with a homemade tomato glaze. Variations on this recipe mutate as desired.
I mean, if your basic recipe is good, any embellishments are just accessories. If your basic recipe is bad, nothing you stuff it with is going to save it.
I think the key mistake a lot of people make is just taking a lump of ground beef and mashing it into a loaf pan. Breadcrumbs or some kind of flour are mandatory.

Yeah, baked ground beef and ketchup do not a meatloaf make. Ick.
It's sodium Valhalla, but I use Stove Top stuffing in mine. It's fucking good. Also, I use HP sauce to top it, not ketchup.
You people never get to raise eyebrows at the food over here ever again.
Meat muffins: brought to you direct from Dahmer's Kitchen.
I kinda want one.

If some surly greaseball handed you one of those bad boys in a towel out of the back of a truck you'd be writing about it years later.
Touché.

Here's how I make meatloaf
1. meat (turkey or beef)
2. celery
3. mushrooms
4. whatever other veggies are left in the fridge
5. panko (electrically puffed bread crumbs, often used in asian cooking) or sometimes i'll take bread slices and soak them in milk before combining with the meat
6. Worcestershire sauce and a bit of soy sauce
7. a bit of milk
sauce:
1. ketchup
2. Worcestershire sauce
3. this stuff we have in the cabinet... its called unami sauce. It tastes like asian barbeque sauce.
4. brown sugar
bake it in a broiler pan because nobody likes excess grease
done
Celery?
I put celery in too, if I have it.
Mmm meatloaf
Damn, I wish I still had the sausages from last night. I think I need to go back and get more sausages.

I like that you explained what panko is.
I think that I should start randomly explaining/describing commonplace items in the middle of posts. Like today I got a new lid for one of my saucepans (a small cooking vessel often used for making small portions of food, esp. liquid-based food) so that I can use it to make popcorn (a type of North American hard-hulled grain that expands explosively when exposed to high heat, often seasoned with butter and salt and eaten as a snack).
I was glad for the description of panko, as I have never heard of it before.
Certainly wouldn't call it a commonplace word.

That has the potential of an incredibly subtle troll.
