  • Add some bulk to the meatloaf. This will help to keep it moist and prevent it from becoming too dense. Common ingredients used to add bulk include bread crumbs, oatmeal, and rice.
  • Mix the ingredients thoroughly. This will help to ensure that the meatloaf is evenly cooked. Be sure to mix the ingredients just until they are combined, as over-mixing can make the meatloaf tough.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf shape. This will help it to cook evenly. You can also use a muffin tin to make individual meatloaves.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that it cooks evenly. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the meatloaf.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help to keep the juices in the meatloaf. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
