The meatloaf is a classic dish that has been around for hundreds of years. Traditionally, it’s made with breadcrumbs and ground beef or pork. While this recipe is still popular today, you can also make healthy meatloaf by using other types of meats such as chicken or turkey and substituting whole grain breadcrumbs. The reason why this recipe isn’t as healthy as we want it to be is because of the fat content in meatballs – they’re typically made using ground beef which contains more fat than other cuts of meat like chicken breast or turkey breast.
What To Make Healthy Meatloaf Recipe
A healthy meatloaf recipe is a savory dish made from ground meats and vegetables baked in a loaf pan. It’s usually served with ketchup or other sauces, but you can also add things like cheese to make it extra tasty! Meatloaf can be made with many different types of ground meats including beef, pork, lamb and chicken.
The name “meatloaf” comes from its original recipe which contained only meat (no breadcrumbs). The word “loaf” refers to how this type of food is shaped like a loaf of bread when baked together in its pan before serving it up hot out on your plate!
