For a deeper flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of chili powder to the meatloaf mixture.
If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse the soaked bread in a food processor before adding it to the beef.
For easier cleanup, line the loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang to lift the meatloaf out easily.
Leftover meatloaf is fantastic in sandwiches, crumbled over salads, or as a filling for tacos.

    I use gluten free bread crumbs as a substitute for the bread and it works just as well!
