The cracking at the end was my fault; otherwise, the most flavorful and moist meatloaf I have ever had. The recipe is straight from the Anova app.

Looks like ass, but probably tastes amazing

You can sear in an oven on high, might try that with a similar recipe

I am super curious about sous vide hamburgers, meatballs, now meatloaf, but still have not done any of them. I really need to do some experimenting.

I know it doesn’t look that good right now, but watch this 😎 🔥

This post made me think…you could put the loaf in a bread pan before you bag it. It should cook the same and would give it an actual shape.

Had thought about trying this as I was putting a batch of gyro meat in the other day.

Best part of the meatloaf is the brown sugar, garlic, Worcestershire, and ketchup sauce I put on it that slowly caramelizes over the course of the cook

I did a sous vide meatloaf and it was delicious. Definitely sauce and broiled it at the end.

And how did it turn out?

I like to freeze it in a loaf pan then pop it out, vac bag, then cook. It holds it shape well.

When I did sous vide meat loaf – I froze it first – so it stayed together in the shape I wanted and then as it cooked from the outside in – the cooked outer bit kept the inner bit where I wanted.

Who TF puts vegetables on a meat loaf? Besides minced alliums and some tomato paste…. I mean it’s called MEAT loaf. Glad it tastes good homey but please don’t call it a Meat loaf

I mean the sous vide-army really put all the shit in those baths, please stop. Sous vide isnt an universal solution to cooking all the things

I do sous vide farmhouse pate which looks very similar, I just roll it into a log with plastic wrap and then vac seal it to get a better shape.

Meatloaf is the hardest food to make look appetizing in a photograph.
Hey OP, looks delicious! What was the temp and time?! I think I am gonna try this with some ground venison and beef! Might wrap it in bacon too!

Did you sear it?

This may sound apocryphal but my preferred method for meatloaf is to just steam it, use the liquid as base for glaze, and finish in broiler. Easier then stuffing the mess into a bag and steam is gentle enough to retain the moisture and flavor without that weird mushy texture.
