Notes

Cooking tips:

  • Feel free to use Beef or Turkey meat. Both will be delicious.
  • Do not overcook, otherwise, it will get very dry.
  • Leftovers are even better than fresh dinner! Just reheat and eat.
  • DO NOT OVERMIX which can result in a tough/dense meatloaf
  • Gently press the meat into the pan so it holds its shape.
  • Rest meatloaf for 10 minutes before slicing

How long to cook meatloaf?

This meatloaf is baked in a 350-degree oven, uncovered. The length of baking depends on what baking pan have you decided to use. If loaf pan it is about 45-55 minutes. I use a bit more shallow pan to make a flatter shape and bake it for 30-45 minutes only. The internal temperature should reach 160° F.  Be sure to let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before attempting to slice it, so it holds its shape.
I can fit my pan into my counter oven, which makes me happy. I do not have to heat up the big oven. Especially during summertime.
