Recipe View 15 mins Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, try using a combination of ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal.
Adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture enhances the umami flavor.
Instead of plain bread crumbs, consider using seasoned bread crumbs or panko for added texture and flavor.
For a sweeter glaze, mix a tablespoon of brown sugar or maple syrup into the tomato sauce.
Ensure that all ingredients are properly combined before baking.
To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the loaf pan, grease the pan or line it with parchment paper before adding the meat mixture.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf is fully cooked. It should reach an internal temperature of 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).
