  • Season the meatloaf mixture well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to create a flavorful meatloaf.
  • Cook the meatloaf in a loaf pan. This will help it hold its shape and cook evenly.
  • Baste the meatloaf with a glaze or sauce during cooking. This will help keep it moist and add flavor.
  • Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
