• For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage instead of mild.
• Make sure to let the meatloaf rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute.

Storage and Serving

• Serve the meatloaf immediately for the best taste and texture.
• Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the meatloaf slices in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
