Expert Tips That I Recommend

• Avoid overcooking the vegetables; cook zucchini and bell peppers until soft.
• Always drain excess moisture from the zucchini so that it doesn’t make the meatloaf watery.
• Mix all the ingredients until well combined, as overmixing can make them dense and thick.
• Don’t rely on cooking time; check the internal temperature to be sure it is cooked.
• While slicing, be careful to cut thick parts, as thin slices usually fall apart. 

Recipe Variation for Different Diets 

• Gluten-Free Version: Swap regular breadcrumbs for gluten-free breadcrumbs.
• Keto Version: Check whether the ketchup is sugar-free. Also swap the breadcrumbs for pork rinds.

Storing And Reheating This Recipe 

Storing

• Allow the meatloaf to cool completely. Then wrap it in cling film, place it in an airtight container, and refrigerate it. Consume within 3-4 days. Keep the temperature at 4°C or below. 
• You can also store it longer by freezing individual portions of meatloaf in a freezer-safe bag for 2-3 months.

Reheating 

• Oven: First, preheat the oven to 175 degrees C. Then add the meatloaf and some stock to an oven-safe dish, and cover it lightly with foil. Now heat for 15 minutes. Don’t leave it uncovered for too long, as it can affect the meatloaf’s texture and make it chewy.
• Stovetop: Add the meatloaf and some broth to a skillet. Then gently warm for 5-8 minutes. But keep checking it, since it is covered with a lid.
