Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for grass-fed beef for a healthier and more flavorful meatloaf. Use fresh herbs and spices to enhance the taste of the dish.
Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense meatloaf. Mix the ingredients just until combined.
Shape the meatloaf firmly: To prevent the meatloaf from falling apart, shape it firmly into a loaf shape before baking.
Cook the meatloaf at a moderate temperature: Bake the meatloaf at 350°F for about an hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help keep the juices in and prevent the meatloaf from falling apart.
