Notes

  • The total time is for making 1 meatloaf, which equals 4 servings.
  • Besides pork and beef, you can also use ground turkey or a combination of these types of meat for cooking meatloaf.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. The meatloaf will last for up to 5 days this way.
  • The best way to check the meatloaf's doneness is to use a thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part and make sure that it reads at least 160 degrees F.
  • You can shape the meatloaf in advance and store it uncooked in the fridge for about 1 to 2 days.
  • If you find the meatloaf a bit hard to slice after cooking, allow it to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes for the juice to redistribute.
