Meat loaf...

[fajrdrako]

It seems weird to me that a recipe calling itself "Healthy Meat Loaf" would start with ketchup and sugar as its first two ingredients.

I'm finding recipe after recipe that puts ketchup into meatloaf. Which seems very strange to me. I've never put ketchup in meat loaf in my life, and can't think why I'd want to - though conceivably I might have ketchup with it.

It just seems wrong.

My mother used to put chopped apples in meat loaf, and I tend to think of that as normal - it added just a little sweetness and just a little tartness and kept the dish moist. I'm not seeing that in the online recipes, either.
