POSSUM'S ZESTY MEATLOAF
This is the best I can come to Mom's meatloaf, to which I have to say there is no equal. But hey, I tried. :) I've found that dusting the top of the meatloaf with a generous portion of black pepper, and then adding a light topping of ketchup for the last 20 minutes adds a nice spicy glazed topping to the meatloaf. To totally make this the main dish of a comfort meal, serve with a hearty helping of either garlic mashed potatoes or mac & cheese.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef. A good quality ground beef will make a big difference in the flavor of your meatloaf. Look for ground chuck or ground sirloin that is at least 80% lean.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Use a loaf pan that is the right size. A loaf pan that is too small will cause the meatloaf to overflow, and a loaf pan that is too large will cause the meatloaf to be too thin.
- Cook the meatloaf at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for cooking meatloaf is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. A lower temperature will make the meatloaf tough, and a higher temperature will make the meatloaf dry.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. When the meatloaf is done cooking, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
