- 1/3 pound each ground pork, ground veal and 93% fat free ground beef
- 1–1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
- 3/4 cup yellow onion – diced
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 extra large egg + 1 egg yolk, lightly beaten
- 3 TBL ketchup
- 1–1/2 TBL worcestershire sauce
- 3 tsp dried parsley
- 1–1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 garlic cloves – ground with a micro-plane
- 1–1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- Sugared Ketchup Glaze:
- 6 TBL ketchup
- 3 TBL packed brown sugar
- 1–1/2 TBL red wine vinegar
- Preheat oven to 350
- Whisk together the breadcrumbs, dried parsley, salt, black pepper and smoked paprika
- In a separate bowl beat the egg and extra yolk lightly and whisk in the milk, worcestershire sauce, 3 TBL ketchup and micro-planed garlic
- Knead together the meats in a large bowl until evenly mixed
- Add the egg mixture and mix again until evenly mixed
- Add the bread crumb mixture 1/3 at a time and again mix until it is combined
- Mix until you have a homogenous loaf. The longer you mix the more dense it will become
- Transfer to a loaf pan and press it in evenly and firmly
- Whisk the glaze topping together and cover the meatloaf evenly with a spatula
- Bake uncovered for 60 minutes
- Remove and let it rest for 10 minutes minimum so it won’t fall apart
- Use a knife to separate the meatloaf from the sides of the pan if necessary and lift it out with the nifty handles on each end!
- Slice and serve
