Ground beef: You want to use ground beef that Is 85% or 90% lean meat. Do not worry about using lean meat as the rest of the ingredients will keep your meatloaf moist and juicy. Avoid super lean meats.
Eggs: I would use high quality eggs for this dish for the best flavor. I used cage free organic eggs.
Garlic: You can use fresh garlic for best flavor or garlic from a jar.
Onion: I used yellow onion for this recipe, although you could use red or white onion as well.
Worcestershire: Instead of Worcestershire sauce you can use Tamari, soy sauce, Miso, Maggi seasoning, Salt, Coconut aminos, or Liquid aminos.

Equipment
Equipment can have a big impact on how a recipe turns out. Stone bakeware takes longer to heat up than metal pans, and also retain heat for longer, which could make the recipe more watery, or burnt on the outsides.
