  • Add plenty of seasonings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder.

  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Use your hands to shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape. You can also use a meatloaf pan.

  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Let the meatloaf rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help to keep the juices from running out.
