At its most basic, cooking means applying heat to food. Whether the food is baked, fried, sautéed, boiled, or grilled, it's all cooking.
People still cook some foods over an open flame, in addition to using tools like microwaves toasters, and stovetops.

The first and only rule of having meatloaf for dinner is you MUST have mashed potatoes to go with it. 😂😂❤️

[@kakylong2]

And biscuits too so you can make a meatloaf sandwich. Yum. 😋

I love meatloaf, especially meatloaf sandwiches 🥪 😊

[@carolray9156]

They are the best!!

[@katw3070]

Mashed potatoes is a must with meatloaf in our home. We like fresh green beans, sliced tomatoes and rolls, also. Of course, iced tea with lemon wedges!

[@katw3070]

By the way, I make my meatloaf exactly like you make yours. Learned from my mother.

[@michelerorabaugh8134]

Sweet southern iced tea

[@michellepierce6516]

I always make homemade mashed taters when I make my meatloaf. It's a MUST, bc you get a pc of meatloaf and scoop up some mashed taters with that fork w/ the meatloaf on it.... AWWW!! That is a party in your mouth!!!

[@revrotunda3206]

Ever since my Daughter started making the garlic mashed potatoes, that is now my favorite.

Your mama was right because, in the early days, open cans made the food in them taste metallic. At least that is what my mama said. I never ever put food in a can in the refrigerator. I always put the food in a regular container.

[@kennypayton5103]

Back then they had tin cans. Very metallic

[@H.R.H.GypsyNightsThatPurr]

Remember when Cokes and Pepsi first came out in cans? Tasted terrible! Metallic taste.

[@joyorr9430]

Yes! Especially acidity Foods like tomatoes would react with the Metal

[@barbarabothe9219]

BLESS, MY MAMA.WE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH, BUT WE HAD GOOD HOME COOKING NICE SUMMER DAYS AND OUR FAMILY. THANK YOU LORD. DIDN'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE.!❤

[@JaimeFoland]

My mama told me the same about flavor - acid in tomatoes also turns the tomato sauce black if you leave them in a the can in the fridge.

[@ambernectar3158]

I love your uplifting nature and humour. ❤❤❤😂

[@baygirl1]

A little mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder and a little more salt and pepper for all of that meat.

[@sandraboyd562]

The reason I make meatloaf is to have meatloaf sandwiches the next day. Try putting it on rye bread with Swiss cheese and a little homemade cranberry sauce. Then grill it like you would a grilled cheese sandwich. It’s soooo good.

[@SUPERBIGMANThe]

Oh that sounds so good.

[@alenajewell4539]

Meatloaf is on my menu this week. Definitely going to make this with the leftovers. Thanks 😊

[@sandraboyd562]

I thought my old eyes were playing tricks. 😎

[@kennypayton5103]

I love double yolks but 2 in a row. Wow!!!

[@starrfishhill]

That’s what I thought double yolk in each egg that was wild and no one is even talking about that

[@bobbiejojackson9448]

Glad that I wasn't the only one who noticed that! I thought my eyes were going all wonky on me! 😂

[@beth1jenkins]

My Mama always said to store excess food from a can in a container, never leave it in the can. Will give the food a metallic taste.

[@Darlene92250]

I always sauté my peppers and onions in olive oil and butter before putting them in the meatloaf mixture and I also add fennel seed. Yum! We like scalloped potatoes with ours!

[@Darlene92250]

We love meat loaf sandwiches too…but with mayo… When my mother was still with us she liked catsup on hers.

[@Darlene92250]

I also add a little fennel seed and a couple of pieces of bread soaked in milk and wrung out, some catsup and parsley. Then I top it with a mixture of bbq sauce, catsup, and brown sugar. Then bake it ‘til it reaches 360 inside.

[@lindaallen7058]

I love her, how she explains and shows everything so you understand what she does , and then when you're lucky she throws in a good story , just love her she feels like a long lost relative ❤❤

[@jeannecrum9921]

My daughter loves meatloaf. I make it with hamburger also usually 3 pounds. I add 3 eggs , 1 onion , celery, green pepper all veggeies chopped small. Add one package oinion soup mix. Also if I have any bread about to be out , I cut it up in little cubes in put it in too. I put in and form my loaf. Then I cover it with tomatoe soup. I serve it with tomatoe soup gravy , mashed potatoes , and buttered corn. And if I have cabbage will make cole slaw

[@illusiv2135]

I’m guessing tomato gravy would be quite good with this meatloaf!!!

[@candiceantrop4073]

Yummy! Yes, no acidic products left in cans! Taste like tin! My grandmother and mother told me so! ❤️🙂

[@margaretwinters6234]

Yes I have always been told to never anything tomato in a tin can, the acidic tomatoes will react with the aluminum. I never leave in my cookers either, I have seen people put the cooker in the fridge mine are very expensive aluminum. (was so mad when I found out how much my hubby spent on them) so I put all into bowls.

[@TWDFAN-ot5zp]

I wasn’t a bit bored. I could watch you chop all day 😊

Meatloaf is in a group of its' own. Thank you for sharing your recipe with me. Love your videos.

2 double yolk did you notice ❤

[@sandijammes7761]

😮 a can of what?

[@Gambia33]

Love her....Reminds me of my grandma. I'm glad modern cooks have adopted their style of cooking. Amazing!

[@edgarbaring6319]

Thats what i call soul food, my mom would make meatloaf alot of times on sundays after church, and then fix us meatloaf sandwiches on monday school lunches

[@happy2cya70]

The sauce will take on that metal taste after the can has been opened, so always take it out of the can before refrigerating left over sauce of any kind that comes in a can.

[@kathycortez232]

I absolutely love meatloaf

How long do you cook the meatloaf? What temp?

[@karendempsey4597]

Well my Mom always made scalloped potatoes & also scalloped corn with a couple slices of bacon baked on top. Good memories make good food!!

[@charliedavis8894]

The tomato cans previous generations had were made from tin, which rusted easily from the acid in tomatoes. Storing tomato products in an open can made the tomatoes taste metallic. Today's cans are made of steel, and short-term storage in the can is fine. I like to add oregano, sage, thyme, or parsley to meatloaf as well as nutmeg and finely chopped garlic. My friend adds chopped bacon to her meatloaf.
