  • This is a good basic meatloaf recipe. Make it your own by experimenting with other types or combinations of ground meat or poultry, different herbs or by using different kinds of binders such as fresh bread crumbs, cooked rice or oatmeal.
  • Serve meatloaf with garlicky mashed potatoes and a fresh salad. Go all out nostalgic and make wedge salads with blue cheese dressing, bacon and chopped tomatoes.
  • Press the meat mixture into 12 large muffin cups (grease them well) for individual meatloaves. Brush tops with ketchup and bake for 30 minutes or until loaves are thoroughly cooked in the center and the thermometer reads 160°F. Immediately remove from pans.
