A sweet-and-sour glaze made with ketchup and brown sugar is brushed on the meatloaf before it bakes for about one hour 20 minutes. The result is a real comfort food favorite. Ingredients 3 thick slices white bread, torn into large pieces 2 garlic cloves, chopped 1 medium onion, chopped 1 celery stalk, chopped 1 medium carrot, chopped ½ cup flat-leaf parsley 12 ounces ground beef chuck (90 percent lean), preferably pasture-raised 12 ounces ground pork, preferably pasture-raised 12 ounces ground veal, preferably milk-fed 1 large egg ¾ cup ketchup 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 2 tablespoons light-brown sugar Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Pulse bread in a food processor until finely ground. (You should have about 2 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.) Transfer to a medium bowl. Pulse garlic, onion, celery, carrot, and parsley in food processor until finely chopped. Add to breadcrumbs. Add meats, egg, 1/4 cup ketchup, the mustard, Worcestershire sauce, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; mix together using your hands. Transfer mixture to a 5-by-9-inch loaf pan. Stir together remaining 1/2 cup ketchup and the brown sugar until smooth; brush onto meat. Set pan on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 160 degrees, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let cool slightly. Christopher Baker Rate it Print
