Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, preheat your oven to the correct temperature before baking the meatloaf.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf. It should reach 160°F (71°C) for poultry and 165°F (74°C) for ground beef or pork.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute and keep the meatloaf moist.
- Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
- For a healthier version of the meatloaf, use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef or pork.
- You can also add other vegetables to the meatloaf, such as chopped carrots, celery, or bell peppers.
- If you don't have zucchini, you can substitute another type of vegetable, such as chopped spinach, mushrooms, or eggplant.
