• You can pack the mixture into a standard loaf pan, but the preference is to form the meat into a flatter loaf shape and place in an oven-proof shallow baking dish for maximum browned surface in baking. Use a dish that is at least 1" larger around than the meatloaf. That way you can easily lift the loaf out of the drippings to serve.
• Bake for 50 to 55 minutes. When the loaf(s) is done, remove from oven pan and the grease. Freezes well, baked or unbaked.
