🍽️ EQUIPMENT YOU WILL NEED

• Aluminum foil
• Oven
👩🍳 VERY DETAILED COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
🔥 STEP 1: Preheat the oven
• Set your oven to 350°F (180°C)
• Let it fully heat before baking
👉 This ensures even cooking from the start.
🥣 STEP 2: Prepare the wet mixture
In a large bowl, add:
• Eggs
• Milk
• Cream cheese
Mix gently with a fork or spoon.
⚠️ IMPORTANT:
• The cream cheese does NOT need to be perfectly smooth.
• Small lumps are normal and will melt during baking.
🌿 STEP 3: Add seasoning
Add to the same bowl:
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Garlic powder
• Onion powder
• Parsley
Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
🍞 STEP 4: Add breadcrumbs
• Add 1 cup breadcrumbs slowly.
• Stir gently.
👉 Breadcrumbs absorb moisture and keep the meatloaf soft.
🥩 STEP 5: Add ground beef (MOST IMPORTANT STEP)
• Add the ground beef LAST.
• Use your hands or a spoon.
• Mix GENTLY.
⚠️ DO NOT OVERMIX
Overmixing makes meatloaf tough and dry.
Stop mixing as soon as everything looks combined.
🧱 STEP 6: Shape the meatloaf
You have 2 options:
Option 1: Loaf Pan
• Grease the pan lightly.
• Press the mixture in gently (do NOT pack it tightly).
Option 2: Free-Form
• Shape into a loaf on a lined baking tray.
🍅 STEP 7: Prepare the glaze
In a small bowl, mix:
• Ketchup
• Brown sugar
• Worcestershire sauce
Mix until smooth.
🎨 STEP 8: Glaze the meatloaf
• Spread glaze generously on top.
• Make sure it covers the surface evenly.
🔥 BAKING INSTRUCTIONS
• Place meatloaf in the oven.
• Bake uncovered for 60–70 minutes.
👉 After 45 minutes:
• You can add more glaze if you want extra sauce.
🌡️ HOW TO KNOW IT’S DONE
• Internal temperature should be 160°F (71°C)
OR
• Juices run clear
• Center is firm but still juicy
❄️ STEP 9: Resting (DO NOT SKIP)
• Remove from oven.
• Let it rest 10–15 minutes before slicing.
👉 Resting keeps the juices inside.
