How long should you cook a frozen meatloaf?

Cooking a frozen meatloaf takes longer than cooking a thawed one. The general guideline for cooking a 2-pound frozen meatloaf in the oven is about 1 hour and 30 minutes at 350°F (175°C). However, the actual cooking time may vary depending on the size and shape of the meatloaf and your oven's temperature calibration.

To cook a frozen meatloaf, follow these steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Place the frozen meatloaf in a baking pan or dish without defrosting it.

3. Cover the meatloaf with aluminum foil.

4. Bake the meatloaf for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

5. Remove the aluminum foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (70°C).

It's essential to use a meat thermometer to accurately check the internal temperature of the meatloaf to ensure it is cooked thoroughly and safely.

Cooking time can vary depending on your oven, the size of the meatloaf, and whether or not you use convection settings. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions or recommended cooking times for the best results.
