DELICIOUS MEATLOAF WITH VEGETABLES



Delicious Meatloaf With Vegetables image

My family likes spice so I add in about 2 teaspoons dried chili flakes when sauteeing the veggies, but that is optional, you can sub chili sauce for the ketchup ---if you prefer to use fresh sliced mushrooms, just saute in the skillet before the onions and other ingredients, any leftovers makes a fantastic sandwich! :)

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 -4 tablespoons butter (can use more)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
2 celery ribs, chopped
1 large carrot, peeled (chopped into about 1/4-inch pieces)

1 teaspoon black pepper (can use more)
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 (10 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained (can use more)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup fresh minced parsley
parmesan cheese
1 1/2 cups ketchup (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor and texture. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini.
  • Don't overmix the ingredients: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the meatloaf in a loaf pan: This will help it hold its shape. You can also use a muffin tin to make individual meatloaves.
  • Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute and make the meatloaf easier to slice.
  • Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad are all good choices.
