Critical Success Points
- • Soaking and squeezing the bread to achieve proper moisture.
- • Mixing the meat mixture just until combined; over‑mixing leads to a dense loaf.

- • Ensuring the internal temperature reaches 71°C for food safety.
Safety Warnings
- • Handle raw ground beef with clean hands and sanitize all surfaces to avoid cross‑contamination.
- • Cook the meatloaf to an internal temperature of at least 71°C (160°F).
- • Use oven mitts when handling the hot foil packet.
