Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat—it can make the loaf dense.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness (160°F is ideal).
  • For extra cheesy goodness, mix some cheese into the meat as well as on top.
  • Let the meatloaf rest 10 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
  • Swap cheddar with pepper jack for a spicy twist!
