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.
I usually cook a 1 lb meatloaf for an hour on 350. Pour the tomato sauce/ketchup topping on and bake for 10 more minutes, and the let sit to cool. Either will work, when I didn't have a loaf pan, I would use a 9x13 pan line in foil and shape into loaf form.
