For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Add a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture for extra depth. Top with your favorite glaze during the last 15 minutes of baking. Ketchup, barbecue sauce, or a sweet and tangy mixture work well. To prevent sticking, line the loaf pan with parchment paper before adding the meat mixture.
