Tips:

  • Choose the right meat: A combination of ground beef and ground pork is a classic choice for meatloaf, but you can also use all beef, all pork, or even ground turkey. If you're using a leaner meat, like turkey, add some extra fat, such as butter or olive oil, to keep the meatloaf moist.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the meatloaf will taste. Use fresh herbs and spices, and make sure the meat is fresh and not freezer-burned.
  • Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: You can use a loaf pan or a free-form shape. If you're using a loaf pan, grease the pan before adding the meatloaf mixture. If you're using a free-form shape, shape the meatloaf into a loaf and place it on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature: This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the meatloaf. Reduce the temperature after 15 minutes to finish cooking the meatloaf through.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Curry meatloaf is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its flavorful combination of spices and tender, juicy texture, this meatloaf is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
