Instructions:
Tips:
- Finely chop the onions, garlic, and carrots to ensure they are evenly distributed and cooked through in the meatloaf.
- Use fresh herbs where possible to maximize flavor. If using dried herbs, reduce the quantity by one-third.
- To prevent the meatloaf from drying out, cover it with foil during the first half of baking, then uncover it to allow the top to crisp up.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (70°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes after baking before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, making the meatloaf more moist and easier to slice.
