  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Use a combination of ground meats for a more flavorful meatloaf. Try using a mixture of beef, pork, and veal.
  • Add plenty of herbs and spices to the meatloaf mixture. This will help to give the meatloaf flavor and depth of taste.
  • Use a loaf pan that is just the right size for the meatloaf mixture. If the pan is too big, the meatloaf will be too thin and will not cook evenly. If the pan is too small, the meatloaf will be too thick and will not cook all the way through.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about an hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
