MEAT Beef

Easy old fashioned meatloaf from Massachusetts

Meatloaf, vegetables and potatoes is a very typical East Coast dinner.

Most meatloaf recipes are recycled Italian meatball recipes, that is why a little tomato sauce can make it into the mix and they are usually topped with tomato sauce –to help form a crust- or the sauce is served on the side. As one travels to the midwest, the tomato sauce becomes ketchup.
