Meatloaf has always been one of my favorite comfort foods and it brings back fond childhood memories. This Classic Meatloaf and Old School Meatloafare the kind of meatloaf I grew up eating and I still love them, but I also really like adding new flavors to meatloaf. My newer favorites are Jalapeno Popper Stuffed Meatloaf, Bourbon and Coke Meatloaf, and Cheesy Chipotle Meatloaf.

Pickle Juice Flavor

A half a cup of pickle juice gets mixed into the meat loaf and I can’t really identify precisely what it is that the pickle juice does to the meatloaf. But it really does give it a unique and fabulous flavor.

The meat loaf is covered in a slightly sweet and plenty tangy glaze that is full of chopped dill pickle slices.

Recipe Tips

Note: One thing to watch out for is the salt content in this recipe. The salt content of dill pickle juice can vary greatly and it can be rather high. So you may or may not need to add additional salt. The first time you make it you will probably have to taste your pickle juice and kind of go by how salty it is and your cooking instincts to tell you if you need to add salt or not.
Be careful not to overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing leads to a tough meatloaf.
