For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal. Add a touch of Worcestershire sauce or balsamic vinegar to the meat mixture for extra depth. Consider adding a layer of crispy bacon on top before baking for added flavor and texture. Let the meatloaf rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf.
