How to Make Market Street Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large frying pan, sauté 1 large onion (chopped), 2 carrots (chopped), and 2 celery stalks (chopped) in 4 tablespoons of butter until softened and slightly browned (about 8-10 minutes).
- Transfer the vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl.
- Add 1 ½ cups breadcrumbs, ½ cup ketchup, 2 large eggs, and ½ cup half-and-half to the bowl.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, and ¼ teaspoon dried thyme.
- Gently fold in 1.5 lbs ground beef and 1 lb Italian sausage (removed from casings). Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
- With wet hands, shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
