For a richer flavor, try using a combination of ground beef and ground pork.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sweet and sour sauce for a subtle kick.
Serve with mashed potatoes and a side of green beans for a complete and satisfying meal.
To prevent sticking, lightly grease the loaf pan before adding the meatloaf mixture.
If you don't have cider vinegar, white vinegar or even balsamic vinegar can be substituted, though the flavor profile will be slightly different.
