For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce to the meat mixture. To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the baking sheet, line it with parchment paper. Leftovers are fantastic in sandwiches or crumbled into chili. Consider using a meat thermometer to ensure accurate cooking.
