The vegetables are the key to making this sooo very moist and delicious! Make sure that you cut the vegetables up really fine because you dont want visible chucks or carrots or celery in your meatloaf.
2-1/2 pounds lean ground beef 4 slices bread, torn into small pieces 2 carrots, finely chopped 2 celery ribs, finely chopped 1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped 2 tablespoons parsley 2 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons dry mustard 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce 1/2 cup ketchup 1 tablespoon kosher salt (or 2 teaspoons of table salt) 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 egg, slightly beaten
Mix well. Youre gonna have to use your hands to get it mixed up good. Ive never known anyone to be able to mix meatloaf up using a spoon.
Place in a 9 x 13 glass baking dish and shape into a loaf…wait a minute…something doesnt look right. Oops, I forgot the parsley.
Okay, if you forgot to add the parsley like I did, dump it back into the bowl and add the parsley.
Spread the topping on the meatloaf. Dont get it too close to the edge or it will slide off in the oven.
Bake in a preheated 375° oven for 1 hour or until it reaches an internal temperature of 170°.
Allow to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing so that the juices dont all run out when you cut it.
