Easy Meatloaf Recipe 🍽️
Description: This is my mom’s very simple and very delicious meatloaf recipe. Be careful- it’s been reviewed as very salty!! It may not need the salt called for in the recipe. It is probably the Progresso breadcrumbs. I use kosher meat which does not need extra salt because it is already salted and also contributes to the flavor- I’ve tried and the flavor hasn’t come out as good with other meat.

Recipe Notes:
- Salt Alert: Be cautious with the amount of salt you add, as some reviewers found it to be very salty. Adjust according to your preference.
- Kosher Meat: If using kosher meat, consider reducing the salt or omitting it altogether, as kosher meat is already salted and contributes to the flavor.
- Breadcrumb Tip: Progresso breadcrumbs are recommended, but feel free to use your preferred brand.
- Loaf Texture: Don’t pack the mixture too tightly in the loaf pans to ensure a tender texture.
- Top Crisping: For a crispier top, increase the oven temperature during the final baking stage.
