Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. You can also add some ground pork or veal for extra richness.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the meatloaf will taste. Use fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices for the best flavor.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf will make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: Cooking the meatloaf at a low temperature will help to keep it moist and juicy. Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing will help to keep it from falling apart. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
