    My husband always prefers my old standby recipe I like to try different meatloaf recipes as I’m not really fond of my own I wasn’t fond of this one though

    I'm revisiting Ina's books and this recipe has been on my list for years. It makes ALOT of meatloaf with 3 lbs of meat and takes longer then the 40-50 minutes called for, definitely closer to 1 hour or more. We loved the garlic sauce I could see using it for other dishes.

    Last Spring, we went to the 1770 house and had this famous meatloaf. It was SO delicious! This was really really good but I agree with anya_sf - the garlic sauce wasn't necessary. It definitely needs to be thicker if using because 2 cups of broth makes it quite watery. Getting ground veal was a challenge so not going to be a common dish in our house - but it was fun (and delicious!) to recreate that wonderful dinner in the Hamptons.

    This was delicious-and I didn’t even need ketchup! Great flavor and texture. I never made sauce. Content with unsauced.

    Meatloaf took 90 minutes to cook - maybe I didn't spread it out enough? It was very good, nicely seasoned, although my son prefers Ina's turkey meatloaf. Makes a lot. Color was very pink, not sure why. Sauce didn't add much.
