Tips:
- Use a variety of mushrooms: Different types of mushrooms will add different flavors and textures to your meatloaf. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender, but not mushy. If you overcook them, they will lose their flavor and nutrients.
- Use a good quality breadcrumb: The breadcrumb is what will bind the meatloaf together. Make sure to use a breadcrumb that is fresh and has a good texture.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape when you slice it.
