It seems that most people have strong feelings about meatloaf. Some love it, some hate it, and some can only eat it once every other month. As of today, I would define my relationship with meatloaf as a budding romance. When I was younger, I wouldn’t touch it. I always heard people talk about meatloaf in a negative way. I thought nobody in the world actually liked it, so why would I even try it?
I eventually tried meatloaf when I was in high school – yes, I remember the day. I remember it because it made such a big impression on me. I finally had a plate of the infamous meatloaf, and it was GOOD! I couldn’t believe it. Meatloaf wasn’t supposed to be good, I thought. But this was delicious! It tasted just like my mom’s meatballs, which are fantastic. I was in shock.
Even though I loved my first piece of meatloaf, I didn’t start eating it regularly. I still felt like I shouldn’t like it. Fast forward a few years, and here we are today. I actually look forward to making meatloaf now. Especially because there are so many varieties. My go-to version, of course, is my mom’s recipe. But there are other delicious ones, as well. Moist meatloaf, cheesy meatloaf, mini meatloaves, etc. We have all of those and more in RecipeLion’s (JUST UPDATED) free eCookbook, 24 Must-Have Meatloaf Recipes.
