Making of meatloaf
Making meatloaf is an extremely easy process and you can consider this recipe an effortless recipe. You just have to ground the meat or you should buy the meat which is already grounded.
Then add the seasonings mainly eggs and onion into the meatloaf. The sprinkling of salt and pepper can also be done into the meat but in this recipe, we have avoided the addition of dry seasonings.
Why do we add eggs to the meatloaf?
The addition of eggs in the meatloaf is done as the eggs act as a combining agent and keep the meatloaf together. It prevents the meatloaf from breaking and therefore you can add eggs without being doubted about it.
The addition of breadcrumbs in the meatloaf keeps it from cracking and also makes your meatloaf a bit crispy. So, to add a bit of crunch to the meatloaf, you can add as many breadcrumbs as you want.
Layering of ketchup
The ketchup is added to the meatloaf to add a very yummy flavor to it. Firstly it is mixed with the meat and then a final layer of the ketchup is also spread at the top of the layered meatloaf when kept in the baking pan. This ketchup is the secret ingredient to the deliciousness of the meatloaf.
Baking of the Meatloaf
Meatloaf is baked after putting it in the pan for an hour. It will get yummy and crispy after baking. The uncovered baking is usually preferred but if your meatloaf is drying out or gets poorly textured then to lock the moisture of the meatloaf inside it, you should bake it while covered.

FAQs?
