Meatloaf with sauce is a classic comfort dish, often associated with American cuisine, though variations exist worldwide. Typically made from ground beef, pork, or a combination, the meat is blended with breadcrumbs, eggs, onions, and spices, then formed into a loaf and baked. The sauce, often a tangy tomato-based glaze, adds flavor and moisture. Nutritionally, it provides a good source of protein and essential vitamins like iron and B12, found in the meat. However, its healthiness depends on preparation; higher-fat meats and sugary sauces can increase calorie and saturated fat content. Opting for lean meats, whole-grain breadcrumbs, and lighter sauces can make it more nutritious. Meatloaf with sauce caters to diverse tastes and is often paired with vegetables or mashed potatoes, making it a satisfying and customizable meal.
