Meatloaf Recipes

Jerry ErricoNo matter how you slice it, meatloaf is a classic comfort food dish that makes an appearance on family dinner tables night after night, with wildly varying ingredients. The budget-friendly main (cold leftover meatloaf sandwich, anyone?) is different from its cousins meatballs and hamburgers in both simplicity of preparation and size, and most of all, personalization.

Most people we know would pronounce their Mom's (or Dad's) loaves the best of all time, but the truth is, so long as you've got your ingredient ratios down, meatloaf is a dish that's pretty hard to mess up. Nonetheless, celebrity chef Tyler Florence claims his Dad's meatloaf recipe is the real winner (and if good cooking's in the genes, we'll take his word for it). We've compiled a list of our ten favorite meatloaf recipes, including the famed pick from Tyler's pop. and then let us know in the comments which one is your favorite.
