The Best Meatloaf Ever

Meatloaf is supposed to be dry and tasteless, right? Well, that’s what I thought until I realized soaking the bread in milk and using a mix of three meats kept it from getting too dried out.

And let me tell you about the sauce. It’s finger-licking good. Like the kind of sauce you’d have over ribs. It makes this meatloaf next level!

Matilda had three servings of it, as did Trevor and I. Amelia ate none… you win some, you lose some.

  • 3 slices whole-wheat bread, torn Into small pieces
  • 1 small onion, chopped

  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, veal and pork mixture (meatball meat mix)

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

  3. Stir in the onion, carrot, cheese and seasonings.
  4. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well.
