There is no rhyme or reason to the times tagged on to recipes, here or anywhere else. I have made many a meatloaf in my day but have yet to turn one out in 40 minutes. Maybe the trick is to have one already finished as Julia Child or Graham Kerr would do on TV back in the day.
Why does it say cooking time is 40 minutes when it’s in the oven for an hour? N,B., I find you often underestimate cooking times

Time is quite off. It is about an hour prep and an hour to cook. Then another 20 minutes for it to cool down. Other than that, it's a good recipe!
I used about 1/2-3/4 of a pound each of ground beef, venison, and lamb. Very tasty and the horseradish tomato sauce was a nice touch. Served with roast potatoes and a salad. A hardy winter meal. I wouldn't have known what was in the meat loaf but it had a depth of flavor that was pleasant.
