I think meatloaf is underrated. There are so many fun ways you can spice it up. I decided to go a semi-traditional route but I did include additional spices to kick-up the flavor a bit. I also added BBQ and hot sauce to the top of the meatloaf to give it a bit more punch to create a BBQ meatloaf.
What I love most about this recipe is the fact that the preparation is so easy. All you need to do is mix all the ingredients together, throw it in a pan and cook. Meatloaf isn’t one of those dishes that you have to spend a lot of time preparing and the presentation is also easy. Just slice and serve. I also love the fast that you can pair so many other things with meatloaf. I could totally see roasted brussel sprouts going really well with this meatloaf or even air fryer roasted potatoes. The options are endless.
