Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients thoroughly, with your hands, in a large bowl.
  2. Pour/plop meat mixture in a NON-STICK standard 9X5 loaf pan, patting it down evenly; if you don't have non-stick pan, then you must spray inside of pan with PAM cooking spray.
  3. Bake at 375° for 45-60 min (your oven time may vary), checking for doneness every 5 minutes, starting at the 45min mark, baking until done. The internal temperature should be at least 165ºF (74ºC).
  4. Let sit in pan for 10 min before removing and slicing.
  5. TIP: Excellent for cold meatloaf sandwiches, simply cut into 10 slices and refrigerate until well chilled.
