Our Favourite Meatloaf

Ingredients for Our Favourite Meatloaf

• 110g fine fresh breadcrumbs (from 6 slices firm white bread

• see Cooks' Note below)

• 80ml di latte intero

• 1 cipolla media, tritata grossolanamente

• 1 gambo di sedano, grossolanamente tritato

• 4 spicchi d'aglio

• 2 tablespoons neutral vegetable oil, such as grapeseed

• 2 1/4 cucchiaini di sale kosher, diviso

• 1 1/2 cucchiaini di pepe nero macinato fresco, diviso

• 45ml Worcestershire sauce

• 675g beef mince chuck, preferably 20% fat

• 230g pork mince

• 2 uova grandi

• 120ml ketchup, divided, plus more for serving

Position rack in centre of oven; preheat to 177°C. Line a rimmed baking sheet or 13x9" shallow baking dish with foil. Soak breadcrumbs in milk in a large bowl until ready to use.

Pulse onion, celery, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. (Alternatively, you can finely chop by hand.)

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Add onion mixture, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in Worcestershire, and scrape into bowl with breadcrumb mixture. Add beef, pork, eggs, 40g ketchup, and remaining 1 1/4 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper, then mix with your hands to combine.

Form meatloaf mixture into a long, well-packed, approximately 5"-wide loaf shape on prepared baking sheet. Brush top of loaf with 60ml ketchup. Bake meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre registers 68°C, 60–75 minutes. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with more ketchup alongside.

Meatloaf can be made 3 days ahead; wrap in foil and chill, or freeze for up to 3 months.
