Ingredients
For the meatloaf:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground veal
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons pepper
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
For the topping:
- 1 cup ketchup
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- 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.
- 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.
- Divide the mixture in half and shape it into two loaves on a baking pan lined with either aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, stir together the topping ingredients until well mixed.
- Pour half of the topping over the loaves and set aside the remainder.
- Cook the meatloaves for one hour. Add the remaining topping when 20 minutes of cooking time remains.
- 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.
