Recipe View Remove from oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful meatloaf. (20 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture.
If you don't have day-old bread, you can lightly toast fresh bread to dry it out slightly.
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the pie pan or baking dish before placing the meatloaf.
Serve with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.
Leftover meatloaf is excellent in sandwiches, crumbled into pasta sauce, or used as a topping for pizza.
