Meatloaf (refrigerated)
Savory and hearty with a soft, dense texture.
Lens analyzedRefrigerated meatloaf is a baked loaf of seasoned ground meat sold precooked and chilled, so it only needs reheating rather than a full bake at home. Breadcrumbs and eggs mixed into the meat hold the loaf together as it slices.
Where it comes from
Meatloaf became an American home-cooking staple partly as a way to stretch ground meat with breadcrumbs and eggs, and grocery stores later began selling a precooked version for a faster dinner.
Buying it
Check the package for a firm, uniform loaf shape without pooled liquid, which can signal it's been sitting on the shelf a while.
Storing it
Refrigerate it and reheat within the days noted on the package, or freeze it if you want to hold it longer.
Keeps about 5 days in the fridge.
