I will never understand the practice of adding sugar to every recipe. It is the biggest cook's crutch ever. You can make a dog turd tasty with enough sugar. 3/4 cup ketchup= 41 grams of sugar. 1/3 cup brown sugar=47 grams of sugar. I want meatloaf to taste like "MEAT" with onions, peppers, mushrooms, herbs spices and seasoning, not a meatloaf shaped "TWINKIE"
I put a little sugar in my spaghetti sauce, cuts down on the acid. I also put a little powdered sugar in the breadcrumbs when I make chicken tenders, gives them a little sweet flavor like chick fil a.

Onions make me :burp:
peppers and mushrooms
but to each his own
Like BURPS, I mean GURPS said "to each his own"
It just seems like every recipe found nowadays for anything from Cole Slaw, to Marinara sauce, sugar is the second or third ingredient.
Some foods are supposed to have savory, spicy, or earthy flavors.
It is an homage to the Chik-Fil-Afication, or McDonaldization of our national cuisine that all foods need to be above all else Salty and/or Sweet.
This started way back with early canned food and has moved up to higher end restaurants with the slathering of salt, butter, and sugar on any available surface, simply because the human brain at some primordial level responds favorably to these easy tricks.
Talk to your Momma's and Grandma's and see how sparsely these ingredients were used in the foods we all fondly remember. Anyone can pour Maple syrup or Honey on something to make it taste good.

Don't let the source of this recipe fool you, it actually tastes pretty good.

Thanx.....I like mine a bit moist, and sometimes the mix with pork/veal isn't enough. I've found adding some tomato juice to the mix adds moisture without changing the flavor much at all, especially if you use a recipe with ketchup.

Not?
I've seen those pans, wasn't sure about them. I usually use a Pyrex loaf dish but leave an inch or so at one end for the grease.

Those 2 piece pans (insert with holes) are really good for meatloaf or other things that need to be elevated.
I used to have one of those. Now I have to wonder what ever happened to it.
nobody really

it was supposed to be not, where is WR when I need her?
The pan does work great, the insert keeps it up off the bottom and that's where all the grease ends up, easy clean up too.
I'm grilling a steak and artichokes. Unless one of you meatloaf people wants to bring me dinner...

Obama destroyed America
[Boy:]
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the lake
And there was not another car in sight
And I never had a girl
Looking any better than you did
And all the kids at school
They were wishing they were me that night
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon, hold on tight
C'mon, hold on tight
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
[Girl:]
Ain't no doubt about it we were doubly blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
[Both:]
Ain't no doubt about it
Baby got to go out and shout it
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
[Boy:]
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely dressed
Baby don'cha hear my heart
You got it drowing out the radio
I've been waiting so long
For you to come along and have some fun
And I gotta let you know
No you're never gonna regret it
So open up your eyes, I got a big surprise
It'll feel all right
Well I wanna make you motor run
And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
It never felt so good, it never felt so right
And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
C'mon, Hold on tight
C'mon, Hold on tight
[Both:]
Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Paradise by the dashboard light
You got to do what you can
And let Mother Nature do the rest
Ain't no doubt about it
We were doubly blessed
'Cause we were barely seventeen
And we were barely
We're gonna go all the way tonight
We're gonna go all the way
And tonight's the night
[Radio Broadcast:]
OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here
Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth
There's the wind-up, and there it is
A line shot up the middle, look at him go
This boy can really fly
He's rounding first and really turning it on now
He's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for second
The ball is bobbled out in the center
And here's the throw and what a throw
He's gonna slide in head first
Here he comes, he's out
No, wait, safe, safe at second base
This kid really makes things happen out there
Batter steps up to the plate
Here's the pitch, he's going
Amd what a jump he's got
He's trying for third
Here's the throw
It's in the dirt, safe a third
Holw cow, stolen base
He's taking a pretty big lead out there
Almost daring them to pick him off
The pitcher glances over, winds-up and it's bunted
Bunted down the third base line
The suicide squeeze is on
Here he comes, squeeze play, it's gonna be close
Here's the throw, here's the play at the plate
Holy cow, I think he's gonna make it
[Girl:]
Stop right there
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me
Will you love me forever
Do you need me
Will you never leave me
Will you make me so happy
For the rest of my life
Will you take me away
And will you make me your wife
Do you love me
Will you love me forever
Do you need me
Will you never leave me
Will you make me so happy
For the rest of my life
Will you take me away
And will you make me your wife
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me
Will you love me forever
[Boy:]
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning
Let me sleep on it
Baby, baby let me sleep on it
Let me sleep on it
And I'll give you an answer in the morning

I couldn't take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god
And on my mother's grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore I would love you to the end of time
So now I'm praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don't think that I can really survive
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I'm praying for the end of time
So I can end my time with you
[Boy:]
It was long ago and it was far away,
And it was so much better than it is today.
[Girl:]
It never felt so good, It never felt so right
And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife.
