So, last month I told you about rinsing your cooked ground beef to lower the fat. But what about something like meatloaf, that can't be rinsed?
Well, I've got a trick for that too.
I do buy leaner (90/10) ground beef when I'm going to make meatloaf, but that's still 10% fat.
I line the pan with foil, and then I scrunch up another piece of foil and set it in the bottom of the pan.
After I form the meatloaf, I set it on top of the scrunched foil.
As the meatloaf bakes, a lot of the fat drains off into the scrunched foil, while the meatloaf sits above it on top.

I then just lift off the meatloaf onto a serving plate, and discard the greasy foil.

Great tip about the foil!
What a great tip! I will definitely try this as seeing all of the fat in the pan that comes out of meatloaf is a real turn off.
Great idea, Holly! I always end up putting meatloaf on paper towel to get some of the grease out. This is a much better solution! Thanks for the tip!
Good tip, Holly! I have yet to find a meatloaf recipe I like...have you shared one here on the blog before??
Amanda, my meatloaf recipe is in this post http://bit.ly/ggMvWE
Great tip. I wish my hubby would eat meatloaf, because I happen to like it. :)
I'm having a little glitch again, Holly. I have your button in my post, but it still won't let me link up:

ok seriously..that is a GREAT TIP!
Your linking up took a couple of tries. I put your link back in my post but it wanted a specific one, not the "feed" one that I usually use. So, it may be a problem for others.

Brilliant! I'm going to take this one and run with it.
Holly, that's a tip I've never heard! That's a great one! Thanks for sharing it.
Hope you're having a good week. It's been so hot here--I keep looking out at my porch, thinking it would be nice to sit out there--but I'm a wimp! :)
