Should I Bake Meatloaf Covered or Uncovered?

Covering meatloaf with foil will keep it moist. You can get a crispy top by allowing the meatloaf to cook uncovered for about 15 minutes.

How Long Should I Rest Meatloaf After Baking?

After removing your meatloaf from the oven, allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes.

The internal temperature is a very reliable guide as to how well cooked your meat is. This works for steak, pork, lamb, chicken, and meatloaf.

Preheat your oven to 400°F| 200°C. Spray a 9"x5" loaf pan with cooking oil spray or grease with oil.
In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the meatloaf and mix well. Mix with your hands until they are well combined.
Add the meat mixture to the loaf pan. Press and shape it into an even layer.
In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the glaze. Pour half of the glaze over the meatloaf and spread with a spoon.
Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes or until cooked through.
Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and brush with the remaining meatloaf sauce.

Don't overmix the meat mixture because it can result in a dense and tough meatloaf.

Line the loaf pan with parchment paper for easy removal and clean up.
