When making meatloaf, you want to use ground beef with a higher fat content, but this can also leave the meatloaf greasy. A simple trick can prevent it.
Add some pieces of bread under the loaf to sop up excess grease and ensure the perfect meaty texture. This hack also makes it easier to remove when the meal is cooked.
Pooling grease can cause the meat to become stuck, which may result in a broken loaf. With a layer of bread, you can remove the meatloaf from the pan without issue.
You can also incorporate the bread into your meal since it will be laden with all those tasty meat juices. Some home chefs toast the bread and use it for a meatloaf sandwich.
