Directions 11 steps | 90 Minutes

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil, shiny side down. Line a metal cooling rack with aluminum foil, poking holes with a chopstick where the meatloaf will be. The holes will help drain the fat from the meatloaf.

In a small frying pan over medium-low heat, cook the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
