Additional Cooking Tips
- You could replace milk with loose yogurt for a thick texture and a more creamy taste.
- Instead of adding crackers, you could add oats for a healthier meal option.
- The meatloaf can be frozen to keep for several days but you’ll have to have the loaf-shaped mold in plastic wrap that’s kept in a ziplock bag for keeping it fresh and convenient for later use.
- If by chance you’ve already baked the meatloaf and would like to freeze it then you should still put on a plastic wrap over the loaf that can be then kept in a ziplock bag for freezing up to weeks. Simply reheat it in an oven after it’s at room temperature and wallah!
- You could add garlic sauce and other types of sauces for a distinctive taste or have the meat sauce added in the meld to provide a rich texture to the meatloaf.
