Tips & Variations
- Add finely diced bell peppers or shredded carrots to the meat for extra moisture.
- For a richer flavor, use half beef, half pork.
- Top with extra glaze during the last 5–10 minutes for a sticky, caramelized crust.
I can also give you a quick skillet version or a mini muffin-style meatloaf for faster cooking.
