For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a handful of chopped sun-dried tomatoes or Kalamata olives to the meat mixture. To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the pan, you can line the loaf pan with parchment paper before adding the mixture. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of dried thyme. Adjust other dried herb amounts to taste. Allowing the meatloaf to rest for a few minutes after baking helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf.
