Kori's Tips
- Make an aluminum foil sleeve so you can easily lift the meatloaf out of the bread loaf pan. The foil should be double thickness, line the pan completely with extra coming up the sides for handles.
- Also, allow your meatloaf to rest after cooking for the same reason. This will let it settle and be less likely to fall apart.
- Easily double this recipe if needed for larger gatherings! Shape into a loaf in a 13 x9" baking dish. Bake until done (160 degrees F.)
Storage and Reheating Recommendations
- Store. Store your leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheat. Reheat your leftovers in the microwave on low until heated through.
- Freeze. Transfer cooled leftovers to an airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
