Does anybody have any good meat loaf recipes ?

I decided to ask a fun question, and I'm interested in trying a new meat loaf recipe . Does anybody have any ideas ? Was there a meat loaf that was a major success at dinner with Grandma or the last family reunion ? Did you ever try cheese sauce on top of a meat loaf ? Thank you in advance for your answers .Does anybody have any good meat loaf recipes ?

Ingredients


1 cup of finely chopped onion


1 celery rib, chopped fine


1 Tbsp minced garlic


1 carrot, chopped fine


1/2 cup of finely chopped scallion (can substitute onion)


2 Tbsp unsalted butter


2 tsp salt (use 1 1/2 teas if using Italian sausage)


1 1/2 tsp freshly ground pepper


2 tsp Worscestershire sauce


2/3 cup ketchup


1 1/2 pounds of ground chuck


3/4 pound of spicy ground pork sausage* (or use Italian sausage - 1 sweet, 1 hot)


1 cup fresh bread crumbs


2 large eggs, beaten slightly


1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves


*Note: many versions of meatloaf call for ground veal as well. You might want to experiment with a third each of beef, pork, and veal. If you don't have access to spicy ground pork or Italian sausage, add a pinch of fennel seeds and a half teaspoon of hot sauce to regular ground pork.





Method





Italian sausages.
