72 MARKET STREET MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Sauce: 4 Shallots, chopped 2 T Butter 1 Sprig thyme 1 Bay leaf : Dash crushed red pepper 1 c Dry white wine (applejuice) 1 c Veal or beef stock 1 c Chicken stock : Salt and pepper to taste Saute onion, green onion, celery, carrot, green and red peppers and garlic in butter until vegetables are soft and liquid is evaporated. Set aside to cool. Combine salt, cayenne, black and white pepper, cumin, and nutmeg and add to the vegetable mixture. Stir in half-n-half, catsup, beef, pork, and bread crumbs. Mix well. Form into a loaf and place on a greased baking sheet or in a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350-degrees 45-50 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Pour off excess fat. Slice and serve with sauce. For sauce: Saute shallots in 1 T. butter with thyme, bay leaf, and black pepper. Add wine (or slightly less applejuice if you prefer not to cook with wine), and stocks. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Simmer until reduced by half and sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the remaining butter until melted. Note: I sub olive oil for the butter in both the meatloaf and sauce for a lower fat version. The final butter added to the sauce is a trick to add a nice sheen to the sauce; I omit this step.

MARKET STREET MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter in a skillet, cook all veggies until soft. Remove to a bowl and place in the fridge for a hour. Salt and pepper to taste.
• 2. Combine the remaining spices, eggs, ketchup, and 1/2 & 1/2 in a bowl. Mix well. Add both of the meats and knead until well combined. Add chilled veggies and mix again.
• 3. In a 9x13" pan shape meat loaf in to an oval, 17x4 1/2x 1 " high. Put this a larger pan and fill half way with boiling water. Bake at 375 for 35 to 40 minutes. Let rest 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy. I will never make another meat loaf again.

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 350°F. 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 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. 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, 1/4 cup ketchup, and remaining 1 1/4 tsp. salt and 1 tsp. 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 1/4 cup ketchup. Bake meatloaf until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 155°F, 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.
