Notes

  • Meats: Swap the ground beef for ground chicken, turkey, or meatless crumbles.
  • Seasonings: Swap out the Italian seasoning for herbs de Provence or chili seasoning for a different flavor.
  • Glaze: Swap the ketchup for gochujang or Korean BBQ sauce for a fun Asian-inspired twist! Keep with that flavor by swapping the Worcestershire for soy sauce and omitting the Italian seasoning.
Storage: Store meatloaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
