For added moisture, consider adding a tablespoon of tomato paste to the meatloaf mixture. Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking. Smoked paprika, dried oregano, or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add depth and complexity. To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the baking sheet, you can also use a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Leftover meatloaf makes excellent sandwiches or can be crumbled and added to pasta sauces or chili.

Jun 17, 2025Easy to follow and delicious! I added a little bit of Worcestershire sauce for extra umami flavor (use low-sodium version if needed).
