Meatloaf is a meat dish consisting of seasoned ground meat (usually ground beef or a combination of ground beef with veal, lamb or pork), which is formed into loaf shape and baked. During the Great Depression it was popular to add cereal grains to the meatloaf to stretch the meat; this has now been adopted by people who wish to eat a lower-fat version of meatloaf. It is often served warm as part of the main course, but can also be found sliced as a cold cut. It is in many respects similar to pâté, which is generally more finely ground. The meatloaf can either be placed on a baking tray or in a mold. The result is usually shaped like a loaf of bread, but other shapes, e.g. heart shapes, are possible.
- Fish is used in a similar manner in Southeast Asian and Central American cuisines, where it is mixed with rice and baked in loaves.
- Ground turkey can be mixed with cornbread stuffing, herbs, and vegetables, and topped with gravy, to produce a "Turkey Dinner" all in one loaf.
Meatloaf has likely been around as long as ground meat. Many meatloaf recipes are adapted from meatball recipes from the Northeastern United States. Many of these recipes call for pasta sauce or tomato sauce to be poured over the loaf to form a crust during baking. In the Midwestern United States, the pasta sauce has been replaced with simple ketchup, but is prepared in a similar manner. In Texas, barbecue sauce is sometimes used.

Summer in Koreatown has long been marked by the sounds of slurping. The season for naeng myun -- cold noodles -- is now in full swing, and at restaurants across the neighborhood, huge bowlfuls of chewy buckwheat noodles quickly disappear. Occasionally there are pauses for a spoonful of icy-cold tangy broth, a bite of crunchy pickled daikon or cucumber, a sliver of crisp-sweet Asian pear, or a slice of tender beef brisket.
