- Baking Sheet – Use a baking sheet instead of baking dish.
Variations:
- Add in Different Meat – If you prefer, you can add in pork or ground sausage or ground turkey with the ground beef.
- Mix in Cheese – For a cheesy meatloaf mix in she shredded cheese. It gets really melty after cooking and gives it so much flavor.
- Stir in additional sauce – This meatloaf can be changed by adding in worcestershire sauce, soy sauce or A1 sauce. It adds so much flavor and moisture to the meat mixture.
- Add in vegetables – To sneak in vegetables, chop up carrots, celery mushrooms or zucchini.

Store leftovers in a air tight container in the refrigerator. If stored properly, the meatloaf will last about 3 to 4 days.
Can you Freeze Meatloaf?
Meatloaf is a great recipe to freeze. If stored properly, it will last about 3 months in the freezer. You have some options on when to freeze:
- You can freeze meatloaf after it has been baked and cooled. Sometimes I double the recipe and place one of them in the freezer. It makes for an easy weeknight meal.
- Freeze meatloaf unbaked in a loaf pan. I like to buy those throw away containers and they are great to freezer this meatloaf. See Can You Freeze Meatloaf for freezing tips.
How to Reheat Lipton Meatloaf Recipe:
- Reheating after being baked โ If you are reheating your meatloaf after it is baked and is frozen then unwrap the meatloaf and place in new foil. Then I put in the refrigerator overnight. Once thawed, place in the oven wrapped in aluminum foil for about 25 minutes at 350 degrees.
- Reheating leftovers โ If you have meatloaf slices leftovers, simply reheat in the microwave.
