Submitted by Shirlee Grabko on Fri, 08/23/2024 - 18:02The earliest recipe for meatloaf is from the first century AD and was found in a Roman cookbook. Meatloaf's origins can be traced back to ancient times when ground meat dishes were common because meat was scarce and would go further if ground. Some believe that meatloaf may have originated in medieval Europe around the fifth century as a Mediterranean dish of diced meat scraps, fruits, nuts, and seasonings. The dish has survived as a basic meal through the ages and one version or another can be found in most countries around the world.
