During the [[Great Depression]], cooking meatloaf was a way for families to stretch the [[home economics|food budget]] by using an inexpensive type of meat and left-over ingredients. Along with [[spice]]s,<ref name="Meatloaf history" /> it was popular to add [[cereal|cereal grains]], [[bread]] or [[saltine]] crackers to the meatloaf to add bulk and stretch the meat. This tradition of additions still lives on, but with new goals: primarily, producing a lower-fat dish with superior binding and consistency.

Meatloaf recipes in America are typically made with a [[sauce]] or [[relish]], often applied before cooking. Many recipes call for a [[tomato sauce]] to be poured over the loaf, which forms a crust during baking.<ref name="Tasty">{{Cite web |url=http://www.tastymeatloafrecipes.com/ |title=tastymeatloafrecipes.com - Resources and Information. |website=www.tastymeatloafrecipes.com |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170626094609/http://tastymeatloafrecipes.com/ |archive-date=26 June 2017 |access-date=3 May 2018}}</ref> A simple [[Brown gravy|brown]] or [[onion gravy]] or a can of [[cream of mushroom soup]] can substitute for tomato-based sauce, but the meatloaf is prepared in a similar manner. [[Barbecue sauce]], tomato [[ketchup]], or a mixture of ketchup and [[mustard (condiment)|prepared mustard]] may also be used. This style of meatloaf may be topped with a "meatloaf sauce" consisting of ketchup and [[brown sugar]]. Another variety of meatloaf, in the same style, is prepared by "frosting" the loaf with [[mashed potatoes]], drizzling a small amount of [[butter]] over the top, and then [[Food browning|browning]] it in the oven.
