This is the best meat loaf I have ever had. The meat loaf is surrounded by potatoes, carrots and onions and baked together for a wonderful one dish comfort food meal. The meat loaf is very moist and tender and the veggies are soft and so tasty. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef (beef, pork and veal mix) |
2 slices white bread, crusts removed |
1 carrot, peeled and sliced |
1/4 medium onion |
1 garlic clove |
1/4 cup fresh parsley |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
2 eggs, beaten |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon black pepper |
3 russet potatoes, peeled and chunked 1 inch thick |
3 carrots, sliced 1 inch thick |
1 small onion, sliced |
olive oil |
salt and pepper, to taste for vegetables |
chopped fresh parsley |
Directions:
1. In a food processor, place bread and process until fine crumbs form.
2. Transfer crumbs to a large bowl.
3. Add carrot, onion, garlic and parsley to the food processor and process until minced, about 30 seconds.
4. Add vegetables to bread crumbs in bowl.
5. Add meat, grated Parmesan, eggs and salt and pepper and mix well.
6. If mixture seems too dry, I add a few splashes of water and remix.
7. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased baking pan.
8. Combine potatoes, carrots and onions in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and mix.
9. Place around meat loaf in pan, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, cover tightly with foil and bake at 375° for about 45 minutes.
10. Uncover and bake for 15 to 20 minutes longer until vegetables are done.
