Old-Fashioned Meat Loaf

This is the grandmother of all meat loaf, especially juicy when cooked in a loaf pan. It also can be baked free form—just shape the meat mixture into an oblong loaf and set it on a rimmed baking pan. Either way, the cooking time is reduced in the convection oven. Serve slices of this everyday favorite with mashed potatoes and a salad. Leftovers make great sandwiches. You might bake some vegetables or biscuits along with the meat loaf, either on the rack above or below, while it cooks.
