Can Taco Meatloaf be made in advance? Yes! You can definitely make this the night before and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. Just pop it in the oven when you get home from work and dinner is a breeze!
Can Taco Meatloaf be frozen? Sure! If you are freezing the meatloaf unbaked, I recommend waiting to add the taco sauce until you are ready to bake. When you are ready to bake the meatloaf, thaw it completely in the refrigerator. Top the thawed meatloaf with the taco sauce and bake as directed below.
You can also freeze the cooked meatloaf for a quick meal later. I like to go ahead and cut the meatloaf into slices before freezing. To reheat the meatloaf, thaw completely and reheat in the microwave or covered in the oven.
