I had the same problem with meatloaf when I first tried to make them. I bought one of those pans that have two parts: it’s a smaller loaf pan (with holes on the bottom to drain grease) that fits into another loaf pan.
It’s a great gadget!! Alton Brown wrote a great article about meatloaf making:

I agree with the Paula Deen tip. I have tried before and it works. put a piece or two of white bread in the bottom of a loaf pan and cook your meatloaf in that. The really hard part is trying not to gag when you have to peel off the greasy bread…. ugh…. but at least it’s better off in the trash than in your body!

Its in our DNA, Beth. I have never been able to make meatloaf, either. But I am paying attention to the recipes you are getting!!

Try Ex-Pat’s recipe. Or at least some version of it. I did it without some of the ingredients, substituted a few others, and it was great. I used tomato sauce and ketchup, and dried herbs instead of fresh. And oatmeal instead of breadcrumbs. And I halved the recipe.

But I can’t do meatloaf in muffin tins. They always (ALWAYS!) end up burned.

No meatloaf recipe here – just a tip. Paula Deen ( The Queen Mother of All Things Deliciously Tasty) always puts a piece or two of bread in the bottom of her meatloaf pan just to soak up any of that extra grease. I’ve not done it personally, but my mom does and says it works like a champ. She also has extremely tasty meatloaf! HTH

1/2 tsp sage, basil or oregano
1/8th tsp pepper

Heat oven to 350, cook for 1-11/4 hour (internal temp of 160)

Then I always drain the grease off, and mix
1/4 C ketchup
2 Tbs brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard

Spread that on top and cook for 10 more minutes. YUM.

Meatloaf

1 pound ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon parsley
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
dash of pepper (or more if you like it like we do!)

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Shape into a loaf.
Spray bottom of loaf pan with vegetable spray. Place meatloaf in the dish and bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes.

I hope this works out for you! I you 80/20 ground beef and it always comes out great. You can make meatballs with this recipe too. Bake on a baking sheet for 25 minutes at 350. (Will make about 20 meatballs).
