A typical two pound meatloaf should be covered in foil. Preheat oven at 375 degrees and back for 80 minutes. Next remove the foil and cook at 375 for another 15 minutes.
Works every time!

∙ 14y agoI used to hate meatloaf until a few years ago. Here are a couple of me and my son's favorites. (Don't add salt to either recipe; there's plenty in the soup mix and crackers.)
More traditional recipe:
Add 3/4 c. Ketchup, 1 whole sleeve of saltine crackers (finely crushed into bread crumbs*), 1 envelope of Lipton Onion Soup mix, 5 slices American cheese (cut into little squares about 1/4"), and 2 eggs to 2 lbs. lean ground beef. Mix all together and shape into loaf in 13 x 9 casserole dish (Don't make it taller than about 2 1/2 - 3 inches so it can cook through, and leave space on all four sides so you can drain fat off later). Bake @ 325 degrees for about 50 minutes. Remove meatloaf and place 3 additional American cheese slices on top of loaf (I usually lay in diamond pattern) and return to oven for another 10 minutes. Remove from oven, carefully drain hot fat, then let rest for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve. Goes really well with mashed potatoes and green beans or broccoli.
*Place crackers in gallon zipper bag and MASH crackers with hand. When you can get most of air out of bag, seal bag and use your rolling pin to crush more finely. Just roll over bag and flip as many times as you need until you get fine crumbs.
Less traditional, but with even more onion and beef flavor (and faster!):
Add 1 envelope of Lipton's Beefy Onion soup mix to 1 pound of ground beef. Shape into mini loaves (3 or 4 per pound). Place on small rack in or over 13 x 9 casserole dish (I borrow the rack from my toaster oven; it's just wide enough to fit securely over my caserole dish.) Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. That's it! Easy and delicious!
Note: For an extra beefy kick, I'll add about 1 T. Better than Boullion Beef base to this mixture if I have it on hand, but you don't have to. The Beef base is salty as well so it's easy to overdo it if you're not careful with the measure.
Hope this helps! Happy eating!

∙ 10y agoI am cooking a 2 lb veal meat loaf (with no tomato topping, ug) in my convection oven @ 325' I use to cook it at 350' for an hour but it does look good after 50 minutes. I did take it out and my husband and I did eat it. It was fine. It could have been cooked longer if you wanted but is was very good as it was cooked.

Depends on how big it is. As a rule you should cook a 5lb meatloaf in a loaf pan for about 1 and a half hours at 325F.
