This Meatloaf recipe is the best I’ve ever had. It’s tender, moist, and flavorful. The delectable garlic meatloaf sauce makes it extra fancy and tasty. Pure comfort food. The fresh herbs and garlic sauce take it to a whole new level. Plus it’s HUGE, so it’s great for feeding a crowd. Or you could freeze half for a later meal.

Ingredients

Garlic Sauce

1/4 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
3 tbsp. Butter
2 cups Chicken stock
10 cloves Garlic, peeled
3/4 cup Olive oil

Meatloaf

2 1/2 cups Breadcrumbs
1 tbsp. Freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp. Kosher salt
2/3 cup Whole milk
3 Large eggs
1 tbsp. Chives or green onions, chopped
1 tbsp. Fresh thyme, chopped
1 tbsp. Fresh parsley, chopped
1 pound Ground pork
1 pound Ground veal
1 pound Ground beef
1 1/2 cups Celery, small-diced
2 cups Onion, chopped
2 tbsp. Olive oil

Method

01

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In your largest saute pan, heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil. When it is hot add the onion and celery. Cook for 5-8 minutes until the onion is soft but not brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
02

In a large bowl, add ground beef, veal, pork, parsley, thyme, chives, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Blend the breadcrumbs in a food processor until they are finely ground, then add that to the bowl with the meat. Add the onion and celery mixture.
03

Combine the meat with your hands. This is the best way to mix meatloaf so that it doesn't get tough. Don't overdo it. Cover a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
04

Use your hands to pat the meat into a flat rectangle. Then push the sides in to make a cylinder about 15 inches by 6 inches (spreading it out first prevents air pockets).
05

Bake at degrees F for 40 to 50 minutes, or use a meat thermometer to find out when it has reached 155-160 degrees F.
06

Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with garlic sauce.
07

While the meatloaf is cooking, combine the oil and garlic in a saucepan. Bring the oil to a boil, then lower the heat to low. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the garlic is a light golden brown. Don't burn it! Strain out the oil and save it for another use.
08

In the same saucepan (with the garlic still in it), add the chicken stock and butter. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat but continue to boil for 35-40 minutes, until it is slightly thicker. Use a fork to smash the garlic in the pan. Add the salt and pepper.
09

Ladle the warm sauce over each serving of hot meatloaf.
