Notes

  • Easily use all ground beef, instead of the addition of the meatloaf meat mixture.
  • For a leaner meatloaf, use ground turkey (may not be as tender and juicy).
  • If you want to replace the bread with breadcrumbs, do NOT mix the breadcrumbs with the heavy cream. Add the breadcrumbs with the other ingredients and incorporate an egg. 
  • Try not to over mix the meat as this can cause the loaves to become too dense and you may lose the tender and fluffy texture while baking.
  • Form meat mixture into smaller loaves for a quicker and more even bake.
  • Allow the meatloaf to rest for a few minutes before slicing.
  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Easily transform leftovers into a meatloaf sandwich or meatloaf hash.
