### **Tips for the Perfect Meatloaf**
1. **Choose the Right Ground Beef**:
– Use ground beef with a bit of fat (80/20 or 85/15) for a juicier meatloaf.
2. **Don’t Overmix**:
– Mix the ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can make the meatloaf dense.
3. **Check for Doneness**:
– Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach **70°C (160°F)**.
4. **Let It Rest**:
– Allow the meatloaf to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping it moist.
5. **Add a Glaze**:
– For extra flavor, brush the top of the meatloaf with additional spicy ketchup or a mix of ketchup and brown sugar before baking.
