  • Brush a layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for added flavor and moisture.

  • Once done, let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Don’t overmix to avoid a dense loaf. Use lean meat for a healthier version. Feel free to customize with herbs, spices, or veggies.
