Recipe View 10 mins Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try sautéing the onion and carrot before adding them to the meat mixture.
To keep the meatloaf moist, place a pan of water on the lower rack of the oven while baking.
Experiment with different cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or a blend of Italian cheeses, for a unique twist.
If you don't have bread, you can substitute with breadcrumbs or crushed crackers.
