How to Make Grease-Less Meatloaf

Meatloaf is notorious for being greasy when cooked in a loaf pan; it basically just sits in its own fat and cooks! Here's a simple trick to reduce the grease in your homemade meatloaf.

When making meat loaf, line the bottom of your pan with slices of bread. Place the meat mixture in the pan and bake as usual. The bread will absorb most of the fat from the meat as it cooks. Discard the bread before serving.

You can also try using a disposable foil bread pan with holes punched in the bottom. Place the pan on a cooling rack set inside a baking sheet; fill with your meat mixture and bake. The grease will drain out of the foil pan and away from the meat.
