Preparation Steps
- Preheat: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it’s cozy and ready for your meatloaf masterpiece.
- Sauté: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add in the celery and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until tender.
- Combine: In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground veal, and ground pork. Add the sautéed onion and celery, parsley, thyme, chives, eggs, whole milk, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir well until every ingredient is joyfully combined.
- Fold: Gently incorporate the panko bread crumbs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This will give your meatloaf that delightful fluffy texture!
- Shape: Transfer the hearty meat mixture to a loaf pan, pressing it down gently to shape it beautifully.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C). Your kitchen will be filled with mouthwatering aromas!
- Prepare Sauce: While the meatloaf is baking, blend the olive oil and garlic in a food processor until smooth. Pour it into a saucepan, add chicken stock, butter, kosher salt, and black pepper. Simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Rest & Serve: Once the meatloaf is baked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Drizzle it generously with the garlic sauce before serving for that extra indulgent touch!
