Here’s the best-kept secret: cold meatloaf sandwiches are better than the original dinner. So, even if your first loaf comes out a little dry, don’t panic. Slice it thin, slap it on white bread with mayo, and call it “rustic.” Leftovers forgive all sins, including that time you cooked it at 425°F because you were impatient.
In conclusion, set your oven to 350°F, bake for about an hour, and always use a thermometer. Meatloaf is forgiving, like a golden retriever made of ground beef. It will never judge you for eating half of it in the kitchen at 11 p.m. with your fingers. Just don’t burn it. Your grandmother is watching. And she’s not impressed.
