Notes

Store cooked meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to three months. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to retain juices. Consider adding ketchup and brown sugar on top for a sweet glaze before baking.
