Tips:

  • Use fresh herbs and seasonings: Fresh herbs like parsley, oregano, and basil add a burst of flavor to the meatloaf. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense meatloaf. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf pan: This will help the meatloaf cook evenly and prevent it from falling apart.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature initially, then reduce the heat: This will help create a nice crust on the outside of the meatloaf while cooking it thoroughly on the inside.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meatloaf, resulting in more tender and flavorful slices.
