Notes
- The key to making tender meatloaf is to not over mix it! You want to mix it lightly and just long enough to fully combine the ingredients. Overworking it can make it tough, so use a light hand.
- This nice thing about this meatloaf recipe is that it's easy to tell when it's done because it's sliced before you bake it. If you're not sure you can always test the temperature with a meat thermometer. Stick it in the center part of the meat and it's done when the temperature is 155 to 165 degrees F.
- You can use ground turkey for this recipe, but it is leaner so your meatloaf might not be as juicy!
