Meatloaf is a meat dish usually consisting of ground meat (usually ground beef or a combination of ground beef and lamb, or pork), which is formed into a loaf shape and baked or smoked. The loaf shape is formed by either cooking it in a loaf pan, or forming it by hand on a flat baking pan. Making meatloaf especially during holidays can be a good business opportunity for home business owners. You can sell it to your friends, to your neighborhood or to food shops and restaurants.
