For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the ground beef before mixing it with the other ingredients. Feel free to experiment with different types of vegetable juice to customize the sauce to your liking. Spicy V8 adds a great kick! To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the pan, line it with parchment paper before adding the meat mixture. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes after baking before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful loaf.
