  • Use a variety of seasonings: A good meatloaf recipe will include a variety of seasonings, such as garlic, onion, salt, and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Create a flavorful glaze: A glaze can help to add flavor and moisture to the meatloaf. You can use a simple glaze made from ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard, or you can get creative and try a more complex glaze.
  • Don't overcook the meatloaf: Meatloaf is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking will make the meatloaf dry and tough.
