meatloaf- ketchup or gravy?

Kula lodge on Maui made the best ketchup I ever had. They used to bottle and sell it for the tourists.

 

Pretty close to how my mama made it.

Anna's is T-H-A-T much better!

 

Don't know, butt I DO know I'd have to be a lot more limber...

 

Damn arthritis.

 

Ketchup, gravy, bacon. Two out of three ain't bad.









It was only a matter of time...

 

I had a roommate in college that put ketchup on everything. He'd go through a couple of bottles a week by himself.

Meatloaf is one of my favorite comfort foods. Fried chicken is another. No ketchup on fried chicken.

Oh and, catsup vs ketchup.

The word ketchup is derived from the Chinese ke-tsiap, a pickled fish sauce.

 

it's great! a lot more flavor, more balanced, not as sickeningly sweet.
basically, ketchup for adults. comes in a glass bottle too!

it's fully replaced the regular stuff at my place. lights out on home-fries!

 

My sister used to put ketchup on her popcorn...

 

From some of the responses all I can say is...............KETCHUP! ON MEATLOAF? Are you insane? Ketchup goes on french fries. Maybe.

My wife usually puts some really great homemade Mushroom gravy over it, or makes mashed potatoes and puts it on top of the meatloaf and bakes it some more until the potatoes are golden brown. Now, that's some good eating. :up:

 

Sounds like an Eastern European version of Shepherds Pie.

 

Only if they are making the Meatloaf out of Lamb. If not it's Cottage Pie.

 

Smother it in Sweet Baby Ray's and drape some bacon over it!

 

Right you are!

 

I was never a big fan of the stuff because moms meatloaf was never that good. However, I tried this recipe and it was really good. The tomato relish really does the trick and there is bacon in the recipe so that's another plus.

I use half-ketchup, half BBQ sauce when i cook my meatloaf, then top with canned beef gravy and a side mashed potato volcano filled with the rest of the gravy. When I described that meal to my cardiologist he said "Why do I bother?"

Then I told him I race motorcycles. That pretty much ended the conversation. He gave me a scrip for Norvasc and said "call me in six months. If you can."

 

BBQ sauce, I always make it Sweet Baby Ray's too. It's got a little bit of kick and tastes great on da meatloaf!
