meatloaf
Shaped ground beef
Meatloaf is a dish of ground meat—usually beef, sometimes mixed with pork or veal—combined with breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings, shaped into a loaf and baked.
It's classic American comfort food, often served with mashed potatoes and gravy: Mom's meatloaf was the best thing about Sundays.
The word also describes anything shaped like a loaf from ground ingredients.
