Non-Americans ask, Do Americans really...?

My wife tried that, too. But it's 4 to 1 to 1 so it's not that much pork, and even if you just use more veal it's still not as good. Plus, taking out the bacon is a deal killer for sure.

I use the crispy bacon (and grease) for my grandmothers baked beans, which were sweet from brown sugar.

I still make her meatloaf with baked potatoes and baked beans. I used to tell my mom “let’s get baked” when I was in the mood to make it when I still lived at home.
 
I'd definately take the pork out.

I make an exception for occasional bacon but we really dont eat pork over here lol. Not really for religious reasons but pigs eat garbage and all kinds of nasty crap.
Elhamdullah you too are ready for the triumph of submission to Islam.

Libs are gonna hate it!
 
I miss Boston Market meatloaf with creamed spinach, mac n cheez, and potatoes and gravy. I wonder if BM is still good or if they've been ruined like everything else from my childhood...
 
I prefer mine to have a thin layer of ketchup so that the meat browns nicely.

My mother and grandmother didn’t do this. They though ketchup didn’t belong on their hamburger:LOL3:
 
Americans put ketchup on everything... even on eggs!

But I'll admit a thin layer of ketchup on a meat loaf makes a good bake.

There is only one legitimate use of ketchup for this American, French fries aka "Freedom fries".
