Notes

Combine meatloaf ingredients until well mixed, but don't over mix; too much mixing can make a meatloaf tough. Safety Tip: Cook your meatloaves to 160 °F. Use a meat thermometer to test the temperature. You will know that your loaves will be completely and safely cooked without being dried out from overheating. Learn more about: Onions
