Additional recipe notes

Substitutions : You can substitute fresh, fine bread crumbs for dried, but you will need only ¼ cup milk for the same amount of crumbs. You can swap the ground beef and/or pork for turkey, chicken or Italian sausage. You can leave out the Parmesan if you prefer, but it does add a savory, salty flavor that can’t be beat. You can swap the onion powder for fresh, finely chopped onion (about ½ cup) To bake in the oven: place in a casserole dish and bake for 1 hour-1.5 hours at 375 degrees F. The exact cook time will vary depending on how thick and how wide your meatloaf is.

Storage & reheating safety

For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
