Special Precautions and Tips:
- Make sure the ground beef is at least 80% lean to prevent the meatloaf from becoming too greasy.
- Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a more flavorful and moist meatloaf.
- Don't overmix the meat mixture, as this will make the meatloaf tough.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
