Mix gently with your hands or a spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can lead to a dense meatloaf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shape the Meatloaf:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf. If using a baking dish, you can form it into a free-form loaf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare the Glaze:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread half of the glaze over the top of the meatloaf.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bake:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160\u00b0F (70\u00b0C). During the last 15 minutes of baking, spread the remaining glaze over the meatloaf for added flavor and moisture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rest and Serve:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is tender and flavorful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-for-success\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Tips for Success<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Customize Your Meatloaf:<\/strong>\u00a0Feel free to add grated carrots, bell peppers, or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition. You can also experiment with different meats, like turkey or chicken, for a lighter version.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Leftover Love:<\/strong>\u00a0Meatloaf makes excellent leftovers! Enjoy it cold in sandwiches or reheated with your favorite sides.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freezing for Later:<\/strong>\u00a0You can freeze uncooked meatloaf for a quick dinner option later. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then foil before placing it in the freezer.
