Italian Style Meatloaf

I love meatloaf and what is better than a meatloaf sandwich the next day?

You’ll need:

• 2 tbs butter
• 1/2 cup of minced onion
• 1/2 cup celery minced
• 1 Tbsp minced garlic
• 1/4 cup carrot, minced
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbs tomato paste
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1 large egg beaten
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
• An extra 2 tbs of tomato paste for the top of the meatloaf

Directions:

1. Take the onion, garlic, carrot and celery and if you have one pulse it in a food processor until very minced (if not just try to mince very fine with a knife)
2. Take a skillet add the butter, salt and pepper and turn the heat to high and add this veggie mixture
3. Sauté this until translucent and soft about 5 minutes
4. In a large bowl add all of the ingredients (except the extra tomato paste for the top of the meatloaf) and mix well by hand
5. Form into a loaf and place on a baking sheet or use a meatloaf pan
6. Spread the remaining 2- tbs of tomato paste on top
7. Place in a 375 degree pre heated oven until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees
8. Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before serving
