The surprising ingredient that kept 1938 meatloaf incredibly juicy
In short: Step back into the Depression era to rediscover a vintage recipe for Tapioca Meatloaf. This video demonstrates how to prepare a savory, historical comfort food using a unique combination of ground beef and tapioca.
This recipe from 1938 utilizes two thin 2-inch slices of diced salt pork and two tablespoons of minced onion to build a flavorful base. After frying the pork and onion until golden, the mixture is combined with two pounds of ground round beef and two cups of strained canned tomatoes.
