Chef's Catalog World's Greatest Meatloaf

Kat's Mom's Note:

Found on www.chefscatalog.com. DH adores this meatloaf. Since I seldom have fresh herbs on hand, I used 2 tablespoons of the squeeze Italian herbs from a tube instead of dried herbs.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• ½ cup breadcrumbs
• ½ cup milk
• ½ cup mixed herbs , chopped (such as parsley, basil, oregano and thyme)
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
• 1 lb ground beef
• 8 ounces ground pork
• 8 ounces ground veal
• ¼ cup ketchup

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and milk; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, stir together the herbs, eggs, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper and the breadcrumb/milk mixture.
4. Add the ground beef, pork and veal and gently combine all the ingredients, taking care to not overwork the meat.
5. Transfer the mixture to a meatloaf or loaf pan.
6. Spread the ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.
7. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat loaf registers 160 F, about 60 to 70 minutes.

I thought this was a wonderful recipe, this is the first time my husband has asked for seconds. I would change a few things, I would add more breadcrumbs, and the mixed herbs I would use 1/4 teaspoon of each. I would also spray the pan with pam.
