How to Make Martha Stewart Meatloaf Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cut bread into 1-inch cubes and place in a small bowl. Pour milk over bread; set aside for 5 minutes.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion, celery, and garlic; cook until soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine carrots, milk-soaked bread mixture, ground sirloin, ground pork, eggs, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Add the cooled onion mixture and combine well using your hands or a rubber scraper.
5. Place meatloaf mixture in a large ungreased baking dish or roasting pan. Shape into a 5x12-inch loaf.
6. Overlap bacon slices across the top of the meatloaf.
7. Arrange potatoes and leeks around the loaf. Season with salt and pepper.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, ground mustard, and 2 tablespoons of water. Stir in tomato paste to create a glaze.
9. Brush the meatloaf with the glaze.
10. Bake for 60-75 minutes, brushing with glaze every 15 minutes, until juices run clear when pierced with a fork and bacon is crisp.
11. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with potatoes and leeks.
