    Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in center of loaf. Bake uncovered 45 to 50 minutes or until meat is no longer pink in center and thermometer reads 165°F. Let stand 5 minutes; remove from pan.

  • Due to the content of certain ingredients often used in meatloaf, such as onions, celery and bell pepper, meatloaf may remain pink even though meat is cooked to 160°F doneness. Always check meatloaf with a thermometer to make sure it has reached 160°F in the center. Thermometer should read 160°F when inserted in center of loaf.
