Not a recipe, just an observation about meatloaf

[GeorgiaXplant]

Meatloaf is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. After the initial meal, the leftovers are meant to become meatloaf sandwiches. Meatloaf for supper is fine; meatloaf sandwiches are as close to heaven as I expect to be.

I remember square meatballs appearing in the spaghetti sauce a few days after a meatloaf dinner.

Cold meatloaf sandwiches with Russian dressing are great for a midnight snack or picnic.

I was going to have a meatloaf sandwich for lunch. I couldn't wait and had it for breakfast instead. After all, sometimes we have breakfast for supper so why not lunch for breakfast?

ETA: It was delicious, but now it's gone

More ETA: I just remembered that there's one generous serving of hot fudge pudding cake left. Since I ate lunch for breakfast, I'm gonna eat dessert for lunch. Gonna heat up the pudding cake and slap a generous serving of vanilla bean ice cream over the top and get downright piggy

Um..."we" may need to skip supper. I use "we" because by the time I've devoured the pudding cake and ice cream, there may very well be two of me.

That's one of the perks of getting older, nobody can tell you what to eat when (tho partners and doctors might try) and you don't have to set a good example for kids, except maybe if your grandchildren visiting. Tho my only grandson is a pickier eater than anyone else in family so just getting anything relatively healthy down him at anytime is good so i don't worry about that when he's here.

My daughter recently asked me to make meatloaf for first time in long time. Going to do it again soon. We always say our winter stews taste better the second day. And leftover holiday ham satisfying but easy and versatile.

I don't believe that breakfast or supper are foods. They're just meals.
I'm glad you broke free @GeorgiaXplant !

May I make a different observation? I hate meatloaf. I also hate meatballs, which to me is just round meatloaf. Is this un-american??

Leftover anything is great, but meatloaf is near the top of the list

Probably!

Leftover meatloaf is manna from heaven! Slap a slab on bread with plenty of mayo and a sprinkling of chopped green olives and I can hear the angels singing.....

Not in my opinion, people are entitled to their individual tastes. Now if you also hate apple pie and baseball, some other folks might feel it is a pattern.

I love meatloaf, mash potatoes and green beans. Oink.

I can't really make meatloaf - I've tried several times and it was a flop. So now I buy some meatloaf-like substance that just needs to be nuked for a few minutes. It's kinda okay, but nothing like my mother used to make.

We never have any "leftover" meatloaf.

I prefer peas to green beans.

Meatloaf is the simplest thing in the world to make. Hey, it's not rocket science.

My Son-in-law loves my meatloaf and for the life of me, I don't understand why!

I just had my turkey meatloaf for lunch....didn't want to wait till dinner.
Good stuff...bought again from Trader Joe's.

Ewwww! However, de gustibus non est disputandum (loose translation from Latin is matters of taste cannot be disputed...keeping in mind that I flunked Latin. Twice.). If you like it, it's probably better than not having meatloaf at all.

Because he obviously has a discerning palate! See the Latin portion of my response to Ruthanne

I hated meatloaf too until I watched a chef on Youtube who was responsible for making meatloaf for inmates of a large US jail. The difference from his American meatloaf to my Aussie one is that he soaked bread in milk and boy what a difference, it was so moist and delicious.
