Notes

Kylee's Notes & FAQs

Let the meatloaf rest several minutes before slicing. We do this so it doesn't all fall apart.

If you don't have a loaf pan, no worries. Just use a baking sheet and form your loaf to a similar size. It will still be epic, I promise. Your cook time will vary and may actually be faster than in the pan. It will depend on how big/thick you make it!

Additions and Substitutions

You can use a mix of ground beef and ground pork if you prefer.

Choose your favorite ketchup for the topping.

If you don't have Italian bread crumbs, use regular and add a little italian seasoning as well.
