Before you throw your meatloaf in the oven do you top it with ketchup or anything else like BBQ sauce?

I use ketchup.

Yes.  Ketchup.  Just like my momma did.

I spice it up a bit and add some other seasonings, but otherwise, yes.

Yes. And I usually have a little on the side when I eat it. Ketchup is good.

My recipe calls for strips of bacon on top.

I wait till the last 20 minutes, brush on a mix of 7 Up, ketchup, cumin and smoked paprika.

Actually, in my adult life I've never made or had meatloaf.
Back when I was a kid, my mom put ketchup on it.

Ketchup but sometimes mixed with a bit of brown sugar.

Equal volumes ketchup and brown sugar.  Add a little bit of vinegar for dissolving the sugar,  and a tad of liquid smoke.

Liberty Burger Chipotle Ketchup in and on the meatloaf FTMFW. Trust me.

Uh no. Strips of bacon adorn the top of my loaves. I chop up most of the package of bacon to mix with the meat. Usually venison, so it needs the fat.

I've never actually made a meatloaf myself but I do like it occasionally say at a mom and pop diner with potatoes etc.  My mom is an excellent cook and though I can't remember the last time she made one, when I was growing up she made them pretty often and she would put a light coat of ketchup on them and I remember hers as being very good.  So to answer your question, yeah I like ketchup on meatloaf but it also isn't a requirement to me.

Momma never made it with ketchup growing up (and hers is still my favorite ) but I've experimented with a few different types of meatloaf and I do like putting ketchup on top when it goes into the oven.

Try Ina Garten's recipe. It's tasty.

My mom's recipe is a "red" style meatloaf. She mixes some tomato sauce into the meat mixture (which is equal parts ground pork, beef and veal). She then tops it with a can of diced tomatoes then bakes.

That is what I grew up with. I have no clue how popular that is or if anyone does it that way at all. I'm from Pittsburgh, Pa and that's how my grandma made it, too.

No. Either marinara, gravy, or plain for me.

Ketchup and cock sauce.

No, ketchup is too sweet. I make up a nice beefy brown sauce to go on it.

Mom used ketchup

I use BBQ sauce

Using Heinz Chili Sauce is a good alternative to ketchup.


I hated meatloaf growing up.  I love it now.

1/3 Dijon mustard, 1/3 vinegar, 1/3 brown sugar.  Mix together and put in top.  Much better than ketchup!

Yeah. Ketchup n meatloaf=good

Tomato paste in the last 15-20 mins.

I grew up with it like that....not very good.  Now I roast it, get a nice carmelized crust, serve with a good gravy and mashed potatoes......much better that way.......

like a steak, if you can make one worth a shit it doesn't need ketchup (on top or on the side)

But ketchup can certainly go a long way in carrying a semi-good meatloaf.

Bad meatloaf needs ketchup on top and then some ketchup/picante on the side to dip it in

Try the Alton Brown meatloaf.
My favorite so far; but I'm seeing some nice variations here.

The absolute best meatloaf I've ever had.  And my wife has tried almost every recipe out there.

A-1, but not on top from the first, but generally on leftovers, especially if I make a cold meatloaf sandwich.

Leftover meatloaf sandwich with mayo... mmmmmmmmm.


Havent had one in years... given that I moved out of mom's house and no one makes meatloaf.
