Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Into a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), add the ground beef, ground pork and ground veal (if using), along with all remaining ingredients for the meatloaf.
  3. Using either your hands, a sturdy wooden spoon, or the mixer paddle, combine the ingredients until just mixed. Don't overwork and overmix the ingredients. If using a stand mixer, use the lowest possible speed and stop when the ingredients are just combined.
  4. Divide the mixture in half and shape it into two loaves on a baking pan lined with either aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients until well mixed.
  6. Pour half of the topping over the loaves and set aside the remainder.
  7. Cook the meatloaves for one hour. Add the remaining topping when 20 minutes of cooking time remains.
  8. Remove from the oven when the internal temperature reads between 160 and 165 degrees on a meat thermometer. Remove from the oven and let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  •  
  • Mixing can be done either with your hands, a wooden spoon, or a stand mixer.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • To freeze, cool to room temperature and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Defrost in the refrigerator overnight before reheating and serving. Reheat either in the microwave or in the oven at 325 degrees.
