- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Just mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Add some moisture to the meatloaf mixture: This could be in the form of eggs, milk, tomato sauce, or even grated vegetables. This will help keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from drying out.
- Season the meatloaf mixture well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to give your meatloaf flavor. Some good options include garlic, onion, paprika, cumin, and chili powder.
- Cook the meatloaf in a loaf pan: This will help it keep its shape and cook evenly.
- Baste the meatloaf with its juices while it cooks: This will help keep it moist and prevent it from drying out.
