Notes
- Make Ahead: You can prepare and shape the meatloaf up to 24 hours ahead of time. Store it in the loaf pan, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the refrigerator before baking. You may need to add a few minutes to the bake time for a meatloaf that’s cold from the fridge.
- To Freeze: You can freeze an unbaked meatloaf. Place the meatloaf in the loaf pan, tightly wrap with plastic wrap and then store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Let it thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours before baking. You may have to add a few minutes to the bake time.
- Storing Leftovers: Store leftover meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer, wrapped tightly, for up to 2 months.
