Classic Meatloaf

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Meatloaf.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your baking pan a light greasing to ensure your meatloaf comes out easily.

   In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, beaten eggs, panko breadcrumbs, and half a cup of ketchup.

   Mix again until all those flavors are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
