Main Street Meatloaf
This meatloaf is a fantastic All-American version of classic meatloaf! Any leftovers can be packaged
in a FoodSaver
®
Vacuum Storage Bag and frozen.
3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
¾ cup yellow onion, chopped
¾ cup celery, with leaves, chopped
½ cup carrots, peeled and finely chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs, lightly beaten
½ cup light cream
½ cup ketchup
½ tsp. ground nutmeg
½ tsp. dried thyme
½ tsp. dried marjoram
¼ tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper, freshly ground
2 lbs. lean ground beef
½ lb. ground veal
½ lb. ground pork
¾ cup plain bread crumbs
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
½ cup tomato sauce
3 thick slices bacon, uncooked
canola oil nonstick cooking spray
Preheat the oven to 375° F. Coat a large rectangular baking dish with cooking spray. In a heavy skillet over
medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion, celery, carrots, parsley and garlic until softened and
the moisture has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. In a large
bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, ketchup, nutmeg, thyme, marjoram, salt and pepper. To the egg
mixture, add the meats, bread crumbs and cooled vegetables, mixing thoroughly with a wooden spoon or
your hands. Form the mixture into a large oval and place in the baking dish. Mix the Worcestershire sauce
into the tomato sauce and spoon over the top of the meatloaf. Place the bacon slices lengthwise over the
tomato sauce. Place the pan on the middle rack in the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove from the oven, loosely cover and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve immediately
or seal and freeze as needed.
Serves 8 or makes 2 meals of 4 servings each.

To Clean Appliance:
Remove Power Cord from electrical outlet. Do not immerse in liquid.
Check Gaskets and around Drip Tray to make sure they are free
from food materials. Wipe off gasket with warm soapy cloth if needed.
Bottom gasket may be removed for cleaning. Clean with warm, soapy
water. The top gasket is not removable.
The Removable Drip Tray makes cleanup easy when small amounts
