JOSH'S FAVORITE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix all except the sauce ingredient. In a measureing cup mix the 3 sauce ingredient. Place in a 350 degree oven. I use a slotted roasting pan so as to drain the meat. And that way the meat doesn't stew in its fat (hate that).
• About 30 min into baking start basting it with the sauce. Continue ever 10-15 min until finished cooking.
• Carefully remove pan (remember there will be grease under it) Let rest 10 min and slice and serve.
• I like to serve with garlic roasted mash potatoes and a veg.

OUR FAVORITE MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet or 13x9" shallow baking dish with foil. Soak breadcrumbs in milk in a large bowl until ready to use.
• Pulse onion, celery, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. (Alternatively, you can finely chop by hand.)
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion mixture, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in Worcestershire, and scrape into bowl with breadcrumb mixture. Add beef, pork, eggs, 1/4 cup ketchup, and remaining 1 1/4 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. pepper, then mix with your hands to combine.
• Form meatloaf mixture into a long, well-packed, approximately 5"-wide loaf shape on prepared baking sheet. Brush top of loaf with 1/4 cup ketchup. Bake meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 155°F, 60-75 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with more ketchup alongside.
• Do Ahead
• Meatloaf can be made 3 days ahead; wrap in foil and chill, or freeze for up to 3 months.
