Analyzing cooking steps...
Baking the meatloaf free-standing (out of the pan) is crucial for creating a delicious, browned crust on all sides.
Do not use parchment paper as it can disintegrate from the moisture and fat. Use a heavily greased baking sheet or aluminum foil instead.
The upgraded version adds layers of umami with ingredients like dried mushrooms, soy sauce, and fish sauce, creating a deeper, more complex flavor.
Cooking the vegetables before adding them to the mix (as in the upgraded version) softens them and deepens their flavor.
Making mini meatloaves reduces cooking time and creates more of the delicious glazed crust per serving.
