Recipe Introduction
The ingredient that makes this meat loaf extra delicious is the spicy ground pork sausage. We once substituted this sausage for regular ground pork and have never looked back.
List of Ingredients
* 1 cup of finely chopped onion
* 1 celery rib, chopped fine
* 1 Tbsp minced garlic
* 1 carrot, chopped fine
* 1/2 cup of finely chopped scallion (can substitute onion)
* 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
* 2 tsp salt (use 1 1/2 teas if using Italian sausage)
* 1 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper
* 2 tsp Worscestershire sauce
* 2/3 cup ketchup
* 1 1/2 pounds of ground chuck
* 3/4 pound of spicy ground pork sausage (or use Italian sausage - 1 sweet, 1 hot) (NOTE: many versions of meatloaf call for ground veal as well. I would experiment with a third each of beef, pork, and veal.)
* 1 cup fresh bread crumbs
* 2 large eggs, beaten slightly
* 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
Recipe
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2 In a large heavy skillet cook the onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and scallion in butter, over moderate heat, stirring, for about 5 minutes. Cover and stir occassionally until the carrots are tender, about 5 more minutes. Stir in salt and pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and 1/3 a cup of ketchup. Cook for 1 more minute.
3 In a large bowl, combine the meats, eggs, bread crumbs, vegetables, and parsley. Form into a loaf and put into a retangular baking pan with 2 inch high sides. Cover loaf with remaining ketchup.
4 Bake meat loaf in oven for 1 hour.
Serves 4 to 6.
