I always saute chopped onions, mushrooms and garlic in a little olive oil, then mix that into the meatloaf. Much better flavor than just adding it raw to the meat. I also put mozzarella In the meatloaf itself, so I flatten out the mixture, put good quality muzz in it, then roll it up like a jelly roll and bake it in a loaf pan, topped with marinara and parmesan. makes it first rate
