  • To make the meatloaf more moist, add a tablespoon or two of olive oil or melted butter to the meat mixture.
  • If you don't have chili powder, you can substitute a combination of paprika, cumin, and cayenne pepper.

  • When you're ready to serve the meatloaf, thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for several hours. Then, reheat it in a 350°F oven until it is warmed through.
