Ingredients

For the meatloaf:

2 cups fresh bread crumbs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 fresh chopped parsley leaves (about 1-ounce)
1 large white onion, minced
2 eggs beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup ketchup plus 1 tablespoon to brush on top
3/4 pound ground beef
3/4 pound ground veal
3/4 pound ground pork

For the sauce:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter (cut 1/2 of this amount into cubes), divided
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup button mushrooms (about 3 ounces), cleaned, trimmed and sliced
1/2 cup demi-glace
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

For the meatloaf:

In a large bowl, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, and onion. Add eggs, salt, pepper, 3/4 cup ketchup, beef, veal and pork, and combine thoroughly until evenly mixed, using your hands if necessary. Form into a loaf in a baking pan and brush top with 1 tablespoon ketchup. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour and let rest 10 minutes before slicing.

About 10 to 20 minutes before the meatloaf is done, begin the sauce. Melt half of the butter in a saute pan (reserving the other 1/4 cup) over medium-high heat, and saute onion until it caramelizes. Add the mushrooms and cook until they become tender and give up their juices. Strain and set aside. In another saucepan, whisk together demi-glace, tomato paste, and red wine and simmer over low heat, allowing to reduce and thicken. Just before serving sauce, whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup of cubed butter, and add mushrooms. Taste and add salt and pepper, as needed.

Slice meatloaf and transfer to a serving dish. Spoon sauce over and serve additional sauce on the side.

Family Favourite
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this meatloaf for the first time in my house hold and its a great dish, my husband loves it. Make it at least once a... month. Very moist, and all the texture works really well. Leftovers are great just place back in the oven. I make my own sause though.Read more

Meatloaf Without Sauce
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The meatloaf itself was excellent. The demi-glace in the sauce was not a good combination and we could not eat it, unless it... is an acquired taste. Leftovers were great with another type of sauce.Read more

Great Meatloaf
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was delicious! The parmesan and onion flavor makes this dish very tasty. I also stirred in a bit of Worchestershire... Sauce to the meat mixture before cooking.Read more
