Tips:

  • Choose the right ground beef. For the best flavor, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. You can also use ground turkey or chicken if you prefer.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are well combined.
  • Use a loaf pan that is at least 9x5 inches. This will allow the meatloaf to cook evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour. Or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
