Notes
- While the kind of milk isn't super important, if you can use whole milk to keep the meatloaf moist and tender.
- Save yourself some prep time and buy pre chopped mirepoix from the produce section in the grocery store.
- Don't skip letting the meatloaf rest! Resting it keeps more of the juices inside.
