If you have a FAVORITE meat loaf recipe, I am sure that it will freeze well. I used this one and added a little of tomato paste. I put mine into 4 small, aluminum, loaf pans. I cooked 2 loafs at a time (for some reason, they really shrunk during cooking), plus my family members are not big dinner eaters. It still did leave plenty for a leftover meal for lunch! Good luck and let me know how your OAMC (once a month cooking) is going!
Freezer Meat Loaf Recipe
3 pounds ground beef
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
3-1/2 cups milk
1 cup minced onion
2 eggs
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp ground pepper
Combine all ingredients. Divide into two foil loaf pans (9"x5"x3"). Wrap, label and freeze.
On cooking day:
Remove from freezer and unwrap 2 1/2 hours before cooking. Preheat oven to 350F, cooking for 2-1/2 hours. Shorten cooking time by removing from freezer in the morning, checking for doneness after one hour of cooking.
MINE DID NOT TAKE 2 1/2 HOURS OF COOKING SO KEEP AN EYE ON IT!
