How To Store Philly Cheese Meatloaf?

Get a plastic bag, put your Philly Cheese Meatloaf in it, and put it in the fridge. It’s that simple! My pro tip for you here is to cover your Philly Cheese Meatloaf in parchment paper or greaseproof paper and then put it in a plastic bag. This will help keep your Cheesesteak from drying out.

How To Reheat Philly Cheese Meatloaf?

• Take your Philly Cheese Meatloaf out of the plastic bag.
• Preheat your oven to up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Pour 1-2 spoons of water to keep the meat moist. You can also use broth here, but water alone is fine too.
• Put the Cheesesteak in the oven and let it reheat for almost 20-30 minutes. Manage the time accordingly, and you’re ready to dive into the cheesiness once again!

How Much Does Philly Cheese Meatloaf Last in the Fridge?

Your Philly Cheese Meatloaf can last for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Don’t store more than that because bacteria can grow on your meatloaf, and you may catch a foodborne illness. However, if you’re still not feeling like consuming it after 3-4 days, you can freeze it in the refrigerator for up to 3 whole months. Suppose you’re planning on freezing it later. In that case, it’s better not to put it in the refrigerator but directly in the freezer.

Can I Make Ahead Philly Cheese Meatloaf?

You can prepare the meatloaf 1-3 days ahead of time and stock it in the refrigerator until it’s time to cook.
