– Meatloaf can be frozen, either raw or cooked.
– To freeze raw meatloaf, prepare the meat mixture and form it into a loaf. Wrap it with plastic wrap and foil, and store it in an airtight container. It can last for 6 months in the freezer.
– If the ground beef used for the meatloaf was already frozen, it is better to bake the meatloaf before freezing it.
– To freeze cooked meatloaf, allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Then, wrap it in plastic wrap and foil, and place it in a freezer bag. It can also last for 6 months in the freezer.
– It is important to label the bag or loaf pan with the date to ensure it is used before it goes bad.
– To defrost meatloaf, it is recommended to thaw it in the refrigerator overnight before cooking. It can also be cooked directly from frozen, but may require additional baking time.
– Cooking time varies based on size and oven. It takes up to 30 minutes to reheat meatloaf in the oven or on a microwave-safe plate.
