In my house a Salisbury steak [called "Dr. Salisbury's Steak' as late
as 1975 by my ex's dad] is a portion sized deal that gets fried and
buried in gravy. [IMO so it can be choked down- too much 'crust
compared to moist center.]

A meatloaf is a family sized chunk of meat [I like to use 3-4 pounds
of meat] that gets baked, stays moist, and may or may not be served
with a bit of gravy.
