Pro Tips To Make The Best Recipe

• Let the meatloaf cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it firm up and stay extra moist and juicy.
• Substitute bread crumbs for crushed Ritz crackers for an extra buttery texture.
• Do not overmix the meatloaf mixture. Only mix until all the ingredients are incorporated.

Storing and Reheating

In the fridge: If you have any leftovers, store the sliced meatloaf in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

In the freezer: To freeze, let the meatloaf cool to room temperature, cover it with aluminum foil, and place it in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. It will keep in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Reheating: The best way to reheat the meatloaf is to put it in a baking dish with a tablespoon of beef broth and cover it with aluminum foil. Then bake it at 250°F for 20-30 minutes or until it's warmed through. Either thaw the frozen meatloaf in the fridge or reheat it at 350°F.
