How to Make Awesome Meatloaf Emeril S

1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 2 stalks celery (chopped), and 1 green bell pepper (chopped). Cook until caramelized, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley. Cook for 2 minutes.
3. Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl and let cool slightly.
4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. Add 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 cup heavy cream to the bowl with the vegetables. Mix well.
6. Add 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 2 pounds ground meat (a mix of beef and pork is recommended), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Gently mix with your hands just until combined. Do not overmix.
7. Transfer the meatloaf mixture to a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan.
8. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup ketchup and 1/4 cup brown sugar.
