Indigo'S Fabulous Meatloaf! - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 celery rib, chopped fine
1 carrot, chopped fine
1/2 cup finely chopped scallion (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
8 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2/3 cup ketchup
2/3 cup barbecue sauce
1 lb ground chuck
1 1/2 lbs meatloaf mixture (1/3 lamb, pork, beef)
1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 large eggs, beaten lightly
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley leaves

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F.
In a large skillet cook onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and scallion in butter over moderate heat, stirring, 5 minutes. Cook vegetables, covered, stirring occasionally, until carrot it tender, about 3 minutes more.
Stir in salt and pepper, 4 tsp Worcestershire sauce, and 1/3 cup of ketchup and cook and stir for about one minute.
In a large bowl mix vegetables, meats, bread crumbs, eggs, and parsley. In a loaf pan or shallow baking pan form mixture into 1 10-by 5-inch oval loaf and spread remaining 1/3 cup ketchup, barbecue sauce, and worcestershire over loaf. (I used 3 smaller loaf pans to easily freeze the two portions I wouldn't be eating that night, it worked perfectly!).
Bake meat loaf in oven 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer registers 155\u00b0F.
