  • Chop the mushrooms finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the meatloaf and will also help to prevent them from becoming rubbery.
  • Use a variety of seasonings. To add flavor to the meatloaf, use a variety of seasonings, such as garlic, onion, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Cook the meatloaf in a covered dish. This will help to keep the meatloaf moist.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape and will also allow the flavors to develop.
