Meatloaf can take a while to prepare. Making a large batch, freezing it and then cooking the frozen meatloaf can help you produce easy and nutritious meals.

Bake in oven, uncovered, for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes depending on oven. If you've elected to make it in the loaf pan, the juice makes an excellent gravy.
