It has been ages since I made a meat loaf (and I know the subject has been beaten to death on RFC.)

This seemed about right for a basic one, especially given the source:

<https://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com/recipes/recipe/55558/classic-beef-meatloaf>

My only mods: 1) Used 2/3 ground beef, 1/3 ground pork. 2) Used Heinz Chili Sauce as baste/topping. I swear, that's what me old mum used back in the day.

Also note my classic old meat grinder. I think I inherited it from me old gran some zillion years ago.

I've pretty much given up on making meatloaf as mine just turns out so bland no matter
what I've added to it. But, I have been toying with adding a bit of marinara sauce to either
the fixings or the top if I should dive into the meatloaf foray again.

Next time (if there is a next time), I will do something roughly like this:

The thing about meatloaf is that you can pretty much do anything you want. Stuff it with kim chee or ramen or whatever.

Ramen noodles and such might be the "thing" where dsi1 lives and we all
know where that is. Heh. No doubt soon he'll claim people all over the
mainland will discover this form of meatloaf and like it. That's not
meatloaf. It's a dsi1 diversion.

I didn't have quite such a strong reaction. Mine was: if only I liked hot kimchi... I still
prefer it the way I first had it: cold, as a side dish.

I like that! The pictures are distracting but it looks easy to make at
home and I have all the ingredients.

I have made this kimchi meatloaf recipe and it's really very good. I modified the methodology a bit to suit more how I cook but the thrust of the ingredients remained the same. It's very tasty and with just enough kick to make you want to go back for more.

It's a good addition to my meatloaf repertoire and I make it fairly often.

Thank you! I almost went for it this time, since I love kimchi, but not having made any kind of meat loaf for at least ten years, I thought I'd start with a "standard." Next time (maybe another ten years? :-) ) fer shure.

And "meatloaf repertoire" just doesn't compute. But then, I've never run a restaurant and don't have your life experience. Thanks again.

(Lunch today was a meat loaf sandwich. Duh!)

well, you've inspired me. I got all the ingredients for a kimchi meatloaf today. Haven't made one in a few months and you've made me start jonesing for some.

I add cocktail sauce *to* the meatloaf mixture. Oh, and don't use only
ground beef. A mixture of ground beef and ground pork makes a big
difference. I used to be able to find a trio at the meat counter of
equal parts ground beef, ground pork and ground veal at the grocery
store that was specifically designated as "meatloaf mix" but I haven't
seen that in a while. At the very least, do use a beef & pork mixture.

The meatloaf still turned out a real snooze fest. Even amped up the spices and
herbs. Zzzzzzzzzz

Some people have a knack for making it, and others like me do not.
I can watch my wife making it, taking notes and studying her every
move. When I do what I believe to be the same ... it's a flop.

I have made some pretty decent meat loaves, but none that were
outstanding. It's like biscuits ... Some people just use the same
recipe and make better biscuits than others.

Key to good biscuits is to not overwork the dough.
Just cut the ingredients in then shape. Makes the difference
between a good biscuit and a hocky puck.

Alrighty then! So, you don't like meatloaf. Don't bother making it.

I added ground lamb once and it was really good as part of the trio of
meats. Cocktail sauce is an interesting difference but most of them
seem too sweet to me. Perhaps I've tried the wrong brands?
