- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a variety of seasonings: Chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika are all classic chili seasoning that work well in meatloaf. You can also add other spices or herbs to taste.
