  • Season the meatloaf well: Use a variety of seasonings, such as garlic, onion, paprika, and oregano, to give the meatloaf flavor. You can also add some grated Parmesan cheese or bread crumbs for extra texture and flavor.
  • Don't overmix the meatloaf: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Shape the meatloaf into a loaf: Form the meatloaf mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a baking pan.
  • Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature: Bake the meatloaf at a high temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and continue baking for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
