Maturity does not always refer to a loan or bond though and can be applied to any other type of debt. The maturity of a credit card statement is the date at the end of the month when the minimum payment is due. Any type of debt, when it is due can be called the maturity date. The initial maturity date of a loan or other debt can change a number of times during the lifetime of the debt.
1 Small 1-pound meatloaves can be cooked at a lower temperature of 300 F to 325 F, if you prefer, for 10 to 12 minutes longer. 2  This gentler cooking minimizes moisture loss as the meatloaf cooks, yielding a moister and juicier end result.
Cook to an internal temperature of 170 degrees. Use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast. Roast it at 325 F. in a preheated oven for about 40 minutes. The time is about 25 minutes per pound. For your 1.5 pound roast that would be about 40 minutes.
