Recipe View 2 hrs Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

For a richer flavor, try using a combination of ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal.
Avoid overmixing the meatloaf mixture, as this can result in a tough texture.
To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the pan, grease the loaf pan lightly with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
Letting the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes after baking allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more moist and flavorful loaf.
Serve with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
