Introduction
I love meatloaf, but I also hate it. Why? Because it’s one of those recipes that has so many variations and there’s no way to know if they’ll turn out good unless you try them all. That being said, this recipe is always a winner with my family!
Preheat your oven.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the rack in the center of the oven and preheat it for about 20 minutes; this will allow time for all of your dishes to heat up before you start cooking them.
- You can test if your meatloaf is done by using a meat thermometer or by doing the touch test (see below).
Prepare the meatloaf pan (or a roasting pan).
First, you’ll need to prepare the meatloaf pan (or a roasting pan). Line it with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
Mix together the ingredients for the meatloaf.
Mix together the ingredients for the meatloaf.
You can mix your ingredients by hand or with a spoon, but it’s easier to use an electric mixer. Put all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix them together on low speed until they’re thoroughly combined.
Scoop out the meat and place it in the prepared meatloaf pan.
Scoop the meatloaf into the prepared pan. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of the loaf registers 160 degrees F.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
- Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
- Meatloaf should be cooked to 160 degrees F, which is about 5-10 degrees lower than beef and pork roasts. The cooking time will depend on the size of your meatloaf, but you can expect it to take approximately 30 minutes per pound–so a one-pound loaf will take about 30 minutes, while a two-pound loaf would need an hour in the oven.
- If you’re using a meat thermometer (and we highly recommend that you do), insert it into the center of your cooked loaf until it registers 160 degrees F.; this should be just before serving time because once removed from heat and rested for 10 minutes or so after cooking is complete, any residual heat left in an already hot pan will continue cooking those delicious bites right up until they’re ready to eat!
