Notes
- Let the meatloaf rest several minutes before slicing. We do this so it doesn't all fall apart.
- If you don't have a loaf pan, no worries. Just use a baking sheet and form your loaf to a similar size. It will still be epic, I promise. Your cook time will vary and may actually be faster than in the pan. It will depend on how big/thick you make it!
- Additions and Substitutions
- You can use a mix of ground beef and ground pork if you prefer.
- Choose your favorite ketchup for the topping.
- If you don't have Italian bread crumbs, use regular and add a little italian seasoning as well.
- What to do with leftover meatloaf
- Meatloaf can be stored for 3-4 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. It can also be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Temperature to cook meatloaf to:You want the internal temperature of your meatloaf to reach 160 degrees F when using a digital thermometer.
