Tried making grandma's meatloaf recipe and it turned into soup in the pan
I swear I followed her instructions to the letter but after 45 minutes in the oven at 350, I opened the door to a pool of grease swimming around my loaf pan. She always said "add a little extra milk" but maybe she meant a tablespoon not a whole extra quarter cup? Ended up draining off like half a cup of liquid and the texture was way off when we finally ate it. Has anyone else had a family recipe that just doesn't work the way you remember it tasting?

Ngl that sounds frustrating, but it kind of reminds me how recipes are more like guidelines than science sometimes. Tbh it's wild how a tiny tweak like "extra milk" can totally wreck the whole thing, but that's just how cooking goes. Honestly makes you wonder how much of our family memories are actually accurate or just rose tinted.
