Notes
Use an 80/20 blend of ground beef for best results. You can use your favorite recipe here if you want.
Be gentle when mixing the meat mixture so it won't turn out too tough.
I added a thin layer of ketchup for the top, but you don't want a heavy sauce for this loaf since the dough won' t stick.
I recommend testing the temperature at around 50 minutes of baking. If it's close to being done, you can add the dough. If it's not near 160, let it cook longer before adding the dough.
Let the meatloaf rest for about 5 minutes before serving so it firms up and is easier to slice.
