- Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish.

Notes
Serve with mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a simple salad. Pour some of the extra juices from the meatloaf over the slices for enhanced flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Mix the meat just until combined to keep it tender.
