We’ve all been there. You pull it out and it’s dark on top but raw in the middle. That’s usually a sign your oven is too hot. Drop the temp to 325°F next time and bake a little longer.
Alternatively, you can tent the meatloaf with aluminum foil for the first 30 minutes. This traps steam and prevents the top from burning. Remove the foil for the last 15-20 minutes to get that gorgeous, caramelized crust.

Pro tip: Brush a layer of ketchup, BBQ sauce, or even a little brown sugar glaze on top before baking. It’s like a sun hat for your meatloaf—protective and tasty.
