Don’t be afraid to add more seasonings if you desire. You can make it spicy with chili powder and paprika, or make it more Italian flavored with basil, oregano and crushed bay leaves. Don’t Over-mix Over-mixing can cause your meatloaf to be tough and dense. Also don’t squish it into your pan. Gently shape and place it in your pan. You want some air to circulate around it so that you don’t “steam” the meat. That really won’t taste great.
