Chef's Catalog World's Greatest Meatloaf

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.

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup  breadcrumbs
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1⁄2 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
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (to taste)
• 1  lb ground beef
• 8  ounces ground pork
• 8  ounces  ground veal
• 1⁄4 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.
