Today I'll prepare American meatloaf in a pot and show you how it's done. The dish is interesting—when I was cooking it, I didn't expect it to turn out so delicious. The recipe seemed strange at first.

Step 1
To prepare American bread, we will use mixed ground meat. It can be made at home or purchased at a butcher shop. The ground meat should consist of pork and beef (in equal proportions).

Add chopped onion, 1 chicken egg, and 0.5 cup of water to the minced meat. Add salt and ground black pepper. I also added some ground coriander. Mix the meat mixture until smooth.

Step 3
Meatloaf is usually baked in rectangular pans. But not all home cooks have them. This meatloaf can be baked in a casserole dish or in a ceramic pot like this one.

Step 4
Mix 3 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 teaspoon of wine vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Stir the mixture well until the sugar dissolves. Spread the resulting mixture over the meat. Smooth it out.

Step 5
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Place a casserole dish inside and bake for 1 hour. Here's a tip: put a bowl or a small baking sheet underneath the casserole dish. Meat juices may leak during baking, so placing a container underneath will save you from having to clean the entire oven later. Garnish the slightly cooled American meatloaf with chopped dill and serve.

The dish is very tasty. The sweetness of the ketchup adds piquancy to the dish and makes the meat juicy and delicious.
