How long should you cook a 3 lb meatloaf?

Bake a 3 lb meatloaf for about 1 hour 20 minutes.

Why is my meatloaf dry?

If you cook your meatloaf too long, it will become dry. But it needs to reach a safe temperature for food safety, so you don't want "rare" meatloaf. Detecting whether the meatloaf is done based on cooking time just doesn't work.

What can I use in meatloaf besides bread crumbs?

Crackers. Crushed-up crackers make an excellent bread crumb substitute in baked dishes like meatballs or meatloaf. The crackers work just as well as the bread crumbs to hold the meat mixture together, and using varieties like salty saltines or buttery Ritz is a great way to add an extra burst of flavor to your dish.

How do you fix mushy meatloaf after cooking?

The main cause of a mushy meatloaf is too much bread and milk for the amount of meat. To fix the issue, try reducing the amount of bread and milk by half. Another fix is to double the amount of meat. If your recipe does not use bread and milk, read on for other ideas to solve your problem.

How do you drain grease from meatloaf?

You can also try using a disposable foil bread pan with holes punched in the bottom. Place the pan on a cooling rack set inside a baking sheet; fill with your meat mixture and bake. The grease will drain out of the foil pan and away from the meat.

How long should meatloaf rest?

You can make meatloaf either in a loaf pan or free-form. Free-form meatloaves have a crust all around; loaf-pan meatloaves have a more "steamed" texture. It's strictly a matter of preference. Let your meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven; it will hold together better when slicing.

Why is meatloaf bad for you?

Meatloaf The problem with this dish is that the fattier cuts of beef used can increase the overall saturated fat intake of this dish. An increased consumption of saturated fats has been linked with an increase in blood cholesterol levels.

How do I make sure meatloaf is done?

To tell when meat loaf is done, use an instant-read thermometer ($13, Walmart). The meat loaf's internal temperature should register 160°F when inserted into the center of the loaf. Alternatively, use an oven-safe thermometer ($18, Target) that can be placed in the meatloaf before it goes into the oven.

How do you know when meatloaf is done without thermometer?

Please take a fork and pierce through the meat loaf, to check it has turned soft. If you are able to pierce it easily, then it is cooked.

Why does my meatloaf crumbly and not slice?

A-Meatloaves most often crumble when they contain too many bread crumbs or too few eggs or when they have not cooled partially in the fat-filled loaf pan in which they were baked. We suggest adding no more than 1/3 cup of crumbs for each pound of meat and adding 1 egg for each pound of meat plus an extra egg.

What is the best binder for meatloaf?

The binder gives a meatloaf it's tender texture and helps it retain moisture. The best binder for making a meatloaf is whatever you already have in your kitchen. It is an excellent use for stale bread and crackers, old breadcrumbs, oatmeal, unsweetened cereal and even leftover potatoes.

Why would you put milk in meatloaf?

The reason milk is added in meatloaf is that it soaks the bread crumbs which add needed moisture to the meatloaf. If you personally do not want to use milk you can try using low sodium beef stock, chicken stock, water, or a non-dairy milk substitute.

What does meatloaf taste like?
