Notes
For best results, ensure the meat mixture is well-combined to prevent crumbling when slicing. Consider using a combination of beef and pork for a richer flavor. Additionally, using fresh breadcrumbs can enhance the texture of the meatloaf. Always let the meatloaf rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring each slice is moist and flavorful. Adjust the stuffing ingredients based on preference, and feel free to experiment with different types of cheese or vegetables.
