Garlic Meatloaf

Best served with Garlic Multi-Colored Mashed Potatoes.

Note: all ingredients are approximate, and are “to taste.”

Ingredients

1 pound 80% lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork (FYI: this is about 95% lean, so do not use super-lean beef)
½ medium onion – rough cut, small chunks
4-5 cloves garlic
1 egg
1-2 tablespoons bread crumbs (no more)
salt
freshly ground black pepper
3-4 tablespoons finely grated parmesan/romano cheese – like Kraft out of the can
½ small can tomato sauce (not paste)
1 tablespoon fresh or dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon or more soy sauce – (can leave out some of the salt)
1 teaspoon Maggi seasoning
Optional: 6-8 cremini mushrooms

Steps

Step 1
Put all ingredients except the meat in a blender.
Step 2
Puree until smooth.
Step 3
Put beef and pork in large bowl, add puree and mix everything together until it has a smooth, even color and consistency – use both hands, letting it squeeze through your fingers.
Step 4
Put in loaf pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for about an hour. After cooking for about 30 minutes, pour the remainder of the tomato sauce over the top and finish cooking.
Step 5
Remove from and let loaf rest for 15-20 minutes, so it will retain most of the juices when cut.
