Notes
- Use Ground Beef with Fat: Choose 80/20 ground beef for the best balance of flavor and moisture.
- Don’t Overmix: Combine the ingredients gently to avoid a dense, dry meatloaf.
- Add a Glaze: The ketchup and mustard topping adds flavor and keeps the meatloaf moist.
- Let it Rest: Rest the meatloaf for 10 minutes after baking to lock in the juices and make slicing easier.
