Serving: This meatloaf pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp green salad. A drizzle of garlic butter or a light marinara sauce can take it to the next level!
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It also freezes well—wrap slices individually for easy thawing and reheating.

Cheese Lover’s Version: Mix mozzarella into the center of the meatloaf for a cheesy surprise when you slice it open.
Spicy Kick: Add ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the mix.
Herb Explosion: Mix in fresh basil, oregano, or thyme for an herby Mediterranean touch.
