how do you make old fashion meatloaf

Obviously not everyone can buy all local ingredients to make a meatloaf, but getting good meat (preferably from a butcher) will certainly make your meatloaf taste better. A few things to look for: you want meat that is not ground to bits but looks like thick, loopy strings of meat. You want to see bits of white fat throughout. If possible, try to buy it from a butcher (you can try to find a local butcher here) so you see the meat in the butcher’s case instead of having to buy it pre-wrapped. The color should either be purple or bright red. If it’s bright red outside but gray inside, that means that it’s not as fresh as can be, but okay in a pinch. If it looks gray and dull all over, don’t buy it—it’s about to spoil. If you can’t find good ground meat, buy chuck and ask the butcher to grind it up for you, or bring it home to do yourself.
