Kraft Kitchens Tips

Serving Suggestion

Try serving this classic entree with a serving of sweet potatoes and a steamed green vegetable.

Thawing Ground Beef Safely

To thaw ground beef safely, keep the meat wrapped and thaw it in the refrigerator -- not on the countertop. Store on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator to prevent any drippings from cross-contaminating other foods. Use thawed meat within 2 days.

My husband called this the best meatloaf ever. He said that's pretty amazing, because he always loved his mother's. Score! I even liked it, and I'm not a fan of meatloaf!
