Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small yellow onion, diced medium (3/4 cup)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 small butternut squash, peeled and diced medium (1 1/3 cups)
3 ounces pancetta or bacon, diced medium (1/2 cup)
1 3/4 teaspoons chopped fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds ground pork or turkey
1 cup grated Parmesan (2 3/4 ounces)
1 to 2 slices white sandwich bread, diced medium (1 cup)
1 large egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add onion, garlic, butternut squash, and pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft and vegetables begin to brown, 5 minutes. Add sage and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, 1 minute.
  • In a large bowl, combine pork, cheese, bread, and egg. Add vegetable mixture and season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Using your hands, mix until ingredients are combined. Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet; form into a 4-by-10-inch loaf. Bake until meatloaf is cooked through, 40 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing.

This meatloaf was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.
