The glaze adds both flavor and moisture to the loaf.

It will keep for four or five days.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Freeze 15-Minute Meat Loaf<\/h2>\n<p>This quick meat loaf freezes well. After cooking, allow the meat loaf (whole or sliced) to cool completely. Then wrap it tightly in at least two layers, such as plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge overnight, then unwrap and bake on a greased baking pan at 350\u00b0 until the loaf is heated through. (A thermometer inserted in the center should read 165\u00b0.)<\/p>\n<h2>15-Minute Meat Loaf Recipe Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1922768 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Meat-Loaf-FT23_15894_EC_0829_6.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Meat Loaf Ft23 15894 Ec 0829 6\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>What is the best kind of ground beef to use in quick meat loaf?<\/h3>\n<p>The microwave cooks meat loaf quickly, which can run the risk of drying out the beef. We suggest using a ground beef with a high fat-to-beef ratio to ensure that the meat loaf stays moist. Look for a 60\/40 or 70\/30 blend, or ask your butcher to grind a mix for you.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you substitute ground turkey for the beef?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, you may use ground turkey, but be aware that the lower fat content of poultry may make the meat loaf more prone to drying out. Feel free to swap in half of the ground beef for turkey, or use all turkey and add a second egg to the loaf.<\/p>\n<h3>What side dishes should you serve with quick meat loaf?<\/h3>\n<p>Most side dishes taste great with meat loaf, from salads to soups to bread rolls or even noodles.
