Ingredients

1x2x3x

• 2 tablespoons good olive oil
• 2 cups Spanish onion 1 large, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups small diced celery 2 stalks
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 pounds ground veal
• 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
• 1 tablespoon thyme leaves chopped fresh
• 1 tablespoon chives chopped fresh
• 3 large eggs lightly beaten
• 2/3 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon ground black pepper freshly
• 2 1/2 cups panko
• Garlic Sauce
• 3/4 cup good olive oil
• 10 garlic cloves peeled
• 2 cups chicken stock preferably homemade
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, unsalted , at room temperature
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large (12 inch) sautepan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent but not browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Place the beef, veal, pork, parsley, thyme, chives, eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Put the panko in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until the panko is finely ground. Add the onion mixture and the panko to the meat mixture.
• With clean hands, gently toss the mixture together, making sure it's combined but not compacted.
• Place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan. Pat the meat into a flat rectangle and then press the sides in until it forms a cylinder down the middle of the pan (this will ensure no air pockets).
• Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a thermometer inserted in the middle reads 155 to 160 degrees.
• Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Garlic sauce

• Combine the oil and garlic in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Be careful not to burn the garlic or it will be bitter. Remove the garlic from the oil and set aside.
• Combine the chicken stock, butter and cooked garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook at a full boil for 35 to 40 minutes, until slightly thickened. Mash the garlic with a fork, whisk in 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and taste for seasonings. Spoon the warm sauce over the meatloaf.

• 1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper
• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery

• Shape the Meat Loaf: Form the meat mixture into a loaf shape that will fit comfortably in your slow cooker. Make sure it’s not too thick, so it cooks evenly.
• Prepare the Slow Cooker: Grease the inside of your slow cooker with a light coating of oil or non-stick cooking spray. Place the shaped meatloaf into the slow cooker.

Tips for making 1770 House Meat Loaf

Cooking Tips

• Meat Selection: Use a mixture of ground beef, pork, and veal for the best flavor and texture. This blend provides a perfect balance of tenderness and flavor.
• Breadcrumbs and Milk: Soak fresh breadcrumbs in whole milk before adding them to the meat mixture. This step ensures a moist and tender meatloaf.
• Don’t Overmix: When combining the meat mixture, breadcrumbs, and other ingredients, mix only until everything is evenly distributed. Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough.
• Shape Evenly: Shape your meatloaf into a uniform loaf to ensure even cooking. A flat, oval shape is often best for slow cookers.
• Slow Cooker Size: Choose a slow cooker that’s the right size for your meatloaf. A cooker that’s too large may not cook the meatloaf evenly.
• Internal Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf. It should reach 160°F (71°C) to be fully cooked.
• Glazing: The glaze adds fantastic flavor. Don’t skip it! The combination of ketchup, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard creates a sweet and tangy topping.
• Rest Before Slicing: Allow the meatloaf to rest for a few minutes after cooking. This lets the juices redistribute, resulting in a moister meatloaf.

Serving Suggestions

• Mashed Potatoes: Creamy mashed potatoes are a timeless companion to meatloaf. They’re perfect for soaking up that delicious glaze.
• Roasted Vegetables: Roasted carrots, green beans, or Brussels sprouts provide a healthy and flavorful side dish.
• Gravy: Serve with rich, savory gravy for an extra layer of flavor. Pour it over both the meatloaf and the mashed potatoes.
• Fresh Herbs: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives to add a burst of color and freshness to your plate.
• Cranberry Sauce: A dollop of cranberry sauce adds a delightful tangy contrast to the savory meatloaf.
• Pickles: A side of dill pickles or pickled onions offers a delightful crunch and a hint of acidity.
• Sandwiches: Transform leftovers into tasty sandwiches. Slice the meatloaf and place it between slices of bread with your favorite condiments.
• Salad: For a lighter option, serve alongside a crisp garden salad with vinaigrette dressing.
