How Expensive Is Meatloaf Now?

I put together a deeper look at the cost of making meatloaf over time, using ground beef price data and a simple one-pound recipe basket.

The short version: meatloaf is still a practical dinner, but it is not as cheap as its reputation suggests. Ground beef drives most of the cost, and the price story changes quite a bit once you look at the data instead of just the nostalgia.

The article also looks at whether older meatloaf recipes used less meat, how much the non-meat ingredients matter, and why the classic “budget dinner” label is more complicated now.
