What ingredients keep meatloaf from falling apart?
Egg and breadcrumbs or bread are common ingredients that help bind a meatloaf together so it won’t fall apart. Some recipes may also include ingredients like cheese that help hold the meatloaf together.
The temperature you cook it at also has an impact – if it’s cooked quickly at a high heat there may be a risk that your meatloaf will dry out and become crumbly. So following the ingredients list and steps for whatever meatloaf recipe you choose will make it easier to cook a meatloaf that holds its form when you serve it.
What to do with leftover meatloaf
If you’ve got leftovers, you can store meatloaf in the fridge for 2-4 days according to food safety details on Healthdirect.gov.au. You could also freeze it for several months, or use it in our meatloaf sandwiches with rocket recipe.
