FAQ

What is the secret to moist meatloaf?

Use high-fat meat.

The leaner the meat, the dryer and grainier the meatloaf. For an all-beef meatloaf, always use a higher-fat cut, at least 15 percent. For a meatloaf made with a leaner beef or turkey, consider mixing in some ground pork and/or veal in order to achieve a moist, tender meatloaf.

Is it better to cook meatloaf at 350 or 375?

The oven temperature is typically set at 350 degrees F for making meatloaf. That’s the temperature you want to be sure to use so the meatloaf cooks and doesn’t dry out.

What ingredient keeps meatloaf from falling apart?

Eggs: Like the breadcrumbs and milk, eggs act as a binding agent to hold the meatloaf together.

Why do you put bread slices at the bottom of a meatloaf pan?

Here’s a simple trick to reduce the grease in your homemade meatloaf. When making meat loaf, line the bottom of your pan with slices of bread. Place the meat mixture in the pan and bake as usual. The bread will absorb most of the fat from the meat as it cooks.
