Critical Success Points

  • Soaking and squeezing the bread to achieve proper moisture.
  • Mixing the meat mixture just until combined; over‑mixing leads to a dense loaf.
  • Sealing the loaf tightly in foil before baking to retain steam.
  • Ensuring the internal temperature reaches 71°C for food safety.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle raw ground beef with clean hands and sanitize all surfaces to avoid cross‑contamination.
  • Cook the meatloaf to an internal temperature of at least 71°C (160°F).
  • Use oven mitts when handling the hot foil packet.
