Meatloaf is a dish made from ground meat (usually combined ground beef and pork) and formed into a loaf. Aside from the meat, different vegetables and spices are added to provide additional flavor. This dish is typically baked but slow cooker and microwave oven are sometimes used.
Almost all the countries in the world have their own meatloaf variation (Embutido is considered as the the local meatloaf of the Philippines). This traditional Meatloaf recipe is considered as one of the top comfort foods here in the Midwest.

I had a sample of a co-workers meatloaf. It had raisins in it. I guess its not same filipino recipe I was thinking.

Hi, Kuya Vanjo. Is it the same po if prepared mustard is used instead of mustard powder? thanks
Panlasang Pinoy says
Toni, did you place the eggs and bread crumbs in? These ingredients serve as binders which keeps the meat from falling apart. If you did, maybe you need to mix it thoroughly.

Hi Kuya Vanjo,
I tried this recipe last night. I was having second thoughts before I did it because I am not a fan of embutido. Since I couldn’t really picture out the outcome of this recipe and haven’t really tried a homemade meatloaf…I decided to give it a shot.
And I was happy with the result! It’s actually yummy! Just in time for Easter! 🙂
Though I made some alterations. I read from an article that we can use oatmeal when the recipe calls for bread crumbs, to make it healthier…so I did. And since your recipe needs italian bread crumbs, I added in 1/2 tbsp of italian seasoning. Also I added half cup of grated carrots which was left over from the carrot cake I made the other night.
The recipe was simply fabulous…same with your carrot cake…a winner! 🙂
Thank you!
