For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meatloaf mixture.
To prevent the meatloaf from drying out, you can tent it loosely with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
For a smoother sauce, strain the pan sauce before serving to remove any browned bits.
Feel free to experiment with different types of ground meat, such as ground turkey or pork, or a combination.
Meatloaf is delicious served with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
