Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: They'll add sweetness and moisture to the meatloaf, and their natural sugars will help caramelize the top.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape: This will help it cook evenly.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: 350 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.
  • Cook the meatloaf until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit: Use a meat thermometer to check the temperature.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
