For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. Ensure the spinach is thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy meatloaf. Squeeze out excess moisture with paper towels. Feel free to add other vegetables to the mixture, such as finely chopped onions, garlic, or bell peppers. A touch of marinara sauce or pesto swirled into the meatloaf before baking adds another layer of flavor.
