π₯© Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can evaporated milk
π₯ Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). This ensures that it’s nice and hot when you’re ready to pop in the meatloaf.
-
Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and evaporated milk. Use your hands or a spoon to thoroughly mix the ingredients until well combined. The evaporated milk adds a touch of creaminess to the meatloaf without the need for breadcrumbs.
-
Shape Meatloaf: Transfer the mixed meatloaf mixture onto a baking sheet or into a loaf pan. Use your hands to shape it into a loaf shape, ensuring it’s evenly distributed and compacted. This ensures even cooking and a beautifully formed meatloaf.
-
Bake: Place the meatloaf into the preheated oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160Β°F (71Β°C) and the top is nicely browned.
-
Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicier and more flavorful meatloaf. Serve slices of Mom’s Meatloaf alongside creamy mashed potatoes and your favorite veggies for a complete and satisfying meal.
