Cooking Tips

  • For extra heat, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the meatloaf mixture.
  • To ensure the meatloaf stays moist, avoid using lean ground beef. A mix of lean and fatty ground beef works best.
  • If you don't have Cajun seasoning, you can make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Storage and Serving

  • Leftover meatloaf can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, place the meatloaf slices in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
  • Serve the reheated meatloaf with your favorite sides or use it to make sandwiches.
