These are not your mom\u2019s ground beef meatloaf recipes! Try one of our chef-inspired recipes – Italian Stuffed, Smoked BBQ or Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf – for an upgrade to the traditional comfort food classic.<\/p>\n

First, let\u2019s talk about how to keep your meatloaf moist and juicy!<\/p>\n

Secrets to a Moist Meatloaf<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Nobody wants a dry meatloaf. These five tips will guarantee a juicy, moist meatloaf every time!<\/p>\n

1. Use Ground Beef with an 80\/20 Fat Ratio<\/strong><\/h4>\n

An incredible, juicy meatloaf starts with high-quality ground beef with an 80\/20 fat ratio. The fat will melt into the meat as it cooks creating a juicy meatloaf. Our premium ground beef<\/a>, made from real Omaha Steaks steak trimmings, have been naturally aged 28 days for a bold steak-heavy flavor.<\/p>\n

2. Do Not Over Mix the Meat <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Overmixing or compressing the meat mixture is a very common mistake that will result in a dry meatloaf. For best results, mix the meatloaf mixture by hand and once the ingredients are incorporated into the ground beef, stop mixing.<\/p>\n

3. Add Moisture-Enhancing Ingredients<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Add vegetables, soft cheeses or bacon<\/a> to your meatloaf mixture. Not only do these ingredients add flavor they help keep the meat moist.<\/p>\n

4. Don\u2019t Overcook<\/strong><\/h4>\n

An overcooked meatloaf will dry out. Insert a meat thermometer in the center of the meatloaf to check for doneness. When the temperature registers 165\u00b0F, your meat is fully cooked and ready to rest.<\/p>\n

5. Rest 20 Minutes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Resting isn\u2019t just for steak. Remove from the oven and let your meatloaf rest 20 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and seal in the moisture.<\/p>\n
