Analyzing cooking steps...
Sautéing the garlic, onions, and thyme first significantly enhances the meatloaf's flavor.
Using quick oats instead of bread crumbs adds fiber and a great texture.
The combination of green and red bell peppers provides a balanced sweet and tart flavor profile.
Baking the meatloaf on a foil-lined baking sheet (instead of a loaf pan) allows excess saturated fat to drain away, making it much leaner and healthier.
Avoid overmixing the meatloaf ingredients to ensure a soft texture.
Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the meatloaf reaches a safe internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
Allow the meatloaf to rest for at least 10 minutes after baking to lock in moisture and flavor before slicing.
