Tips for Making the Perfect Meatloaf:
-
Use high-quality ground beef: The better the quality of the meat, the better the flavor and texture of the meatloaf. Choose ground beef that is at least 80% lean to ensure that the meatloaf stays moist and tender.
-
Don't overwork the meat mixture: Overworking the meat mixture can result in a dense and tough meatloaf. Mix the ingredients just enough to combine them, and avoid packing the mixture too tightly into the loaf pan.
-
Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: Letting the meatloaf rest for a few minutes after it's cooked allows the juices to redistribute and the meat to settle. This results in a juicier and more flavourful meatloaf.
Serve it with your favourite sides and enjoy!
