Note
For best results, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.
You can substitute pork or a mix of beef and pork for the ground beef if preferred.
If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash of milk or cream to the sauce mixture while heating.
Garnish with fresh parsley or cucumber slices for a fresh contrast to the rich flavors.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
