Note
For best results, do not overmix the meat mixture, as this can make the loaf tough. Handle gently when shaping.
If you prefer a crispier exterior, you can broil the loaf for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, but watch closely to prevent burning.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven with a splash of gravy to maintain moisture.
