Meatloaf Greasy
Your meatloaf is greasy because the mix was too fatty or it did not drain. Remove excess fat and rebalance.

The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 blot the surface with paper towels to lift fat
- 2 broil for 2 minutes to render more fat
- 3 serve with mashed potatoes or bread to absorb excess grease
If it's still wrong
- slice thin and serve with a bright sauce
- crumble into pasta or tacos
Prevent next time
- use a leaner mix and add binders
- bake on a rack so fat drains away
Notes
Why this works
Excess fat pools on the surface and coats the palate. Blotting and broiling reduce surface fat so the meatloaf tastes cleaner.
