Notes

For the best flavor, use a homemade or high-quality store-bought Cajun seasoning. If you prefer a spicier meatloaf, increase the amount of hot sauce or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Remember to handle the meat mixture gently to avoid a tough texture, and consider using a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for safe consumption.
