ToggleWhy Parmesan Works:
- Flavor Boost: The salty, savory taste of Parmesan adds an extra layer of flavor that complements the meat without overpowering it.
- Moisture: The cheese helps keep the meatloaf moist, preventing it from drying out during baking.
- Texture: It can improve the texture, making the meatloaf more tender.
How to Use It:
- Add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan to your meatloaf mixture. You can mix it in with the meat, breadcrumbs, eggs, and seasonings.
You can also sprinkle a little on top of your meatloaf before baking for a cheesy, golden crust.
It’s a simple trick that elevates the flavor and makes your meatloaf extra delicious! 😋🍽
