Serving-Sized Meatloaf

Jun 29, 2015 By April Leave a Comment

I don’t remember where I came across the initial recipe years ago.  My printed copy was typed up in Word because I’d made adjustments to it, so there’s no link references for the original.

I like to make my meatloaf into individual-sized loaves mainly because it cuts down on the cooking time.  It’s also nice to have them portioned out with no need to cut the loaves.  I usually just free-form the loaves, but make sure they are all about the same size so they cook evenly.  I measure each loaf out to around 6 – 6½ oz each (~180 grams).

The recipe calls for topping each loaf with ketchup.  The amount is really up to you.  I love lots of ketchup on my meatloaf, so I made sure to put plenty.

These loaves only need to bake for 25 minutes at 350° before they were done (reaching an internal temperature of 165°).  To avoid the build-up of the cooking juices, you could cook these on a wire rack.
