Notes

    • Don’t Overmix: Mix the ingredients just until combined for a tender meatloaf.

    • Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure the meatloaf reaches 160 degrees for perfectly cooked, juicy meat.

    • Try a Different Protein: Swap ground beef for ground turkey or a mix of beef and pork for added flavor.
