Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus some for drizzling
1 red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped and divided
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 cup shredded carrots
Salt and pepper, for seasoning, plus coarse black pepper for finishing sauce
1/2 pound ground beef
3/4 pound bulk hot sausage
3/4 pound ground sweet sausage
1 egg
3/4 cup bread crumbs, 3 generous handfuls, Italian or plain
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano or Romano, a couple of handfuls
1/8 pound pancetta, 4 slices, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
Splash red wine
1/2 cup beef stock
1 can petite diced tomatoes or stewed tomatoes
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons hot sauce
Serving suggestion: green salad

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Heat a small skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil. When the oil is hot, saute the red pepper, half the onions, celery and carrots together, 5 minutes, season with salt and pepper then remove to a plate to cool.

Mix ground beef and sausages with egg, bread crumbs, cheese, and cooled vegetables. Form 4 large oval shaped patties no more than 1 1/4 inches thick then drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil. Place in the oven on a cookie sheet and bake 17 to 18 minutes, until cooked through.

Heat a medium sauce pot over medium high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO to the pan and the pancetta. Let the pancetta crisp up a bit and render fat, then add onions and garlic and cook until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add a splash of red wine to deglaze the pan. Stir in the beef stock and tomatoes and season sauce heavily with coarse black pepper. Add Worcestershire and hot sauce and reduce heat to warm.

Serve meatloaves with Italian barbecue sauce on top and green salad alongside.

Sane's comment
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Anyone who would post a public comment and say Rachael Ray is a pig and should be slapped, without substantiation, is... delusional. Not only that, but if you think she should be slapped, then you should probably be arrested. I think comments here should refer to the recipes. There is no need or reason to attack the character of the recipe writer. What does that have to do with the outcome of the recipe?Read more

To Sane that wrote: "Rachael Ray is a pig and should be slapped", 8-10-08. It would be nice to know why you would make a... comment like that to someone you don't really know, and to refer to her as a "pig"....OMG what kind of person says that about a gal that's merely sharing her cooking. Folks like you continue to give New York a bad name. Good grief, if you don't like her why are you watching and bothering to comment? Apparently you're bored and have nothing better to do. Let's see you get in front of an audience and pull off what Rachael does daily, the sharing of her recipes and ideas to help others. I might add she does this with honesty and an obvious love for what she does. Disgusted in Las VegasRead more

Not that great
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I did not like this recipe & I usually enjoy Rachel Ray's recipes. It just wasn't that great, it was edible but through away... what was left & will not make again. The sauce is flavorful but the meat isn't.Read more

This is a great non-greasy meatloaf plus sauce which is a meal by itself.

Rachael Ray is a pig
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Anyone who disagrees that Rachael Ray is a pig is delusional. She should be slapped.
