This meatloaf recipe is also called Meatloaf Braccioli because of the way the loaf is rolled. Braccioli means rolled meat in sauce. This meatloaf recipe offers a new twist for braccioli since it is made of ground beef to form a meatloaf. It is truly an enjoyable meal.

Dad's Meatloaf with Tomato Relish





Tomato Relish:


Extra-virgin olive oil


1 onion, finely diced


2 garlic cloves, minced


2 bay leaves


2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and finely diced


2 tomatoes, halved, seeded, and finely diced


1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley


1 (12-ounce) bottle ketchup


1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce


Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper


Meatloaf:


3 slices white bread, crusts removed, torn into chunks by hand


1/4 cup whole milk


1 1/2 pounds ground beef


1 pound ground pork


2 eggs


Leaves from 2 fresh thyme sprigs


Salt and freshly ground black pepper


3 to 4 bacon slices





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Coat a skillet with a 2-count of oil and place over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few minutes to create a base flavor. Throw in the red peppers and cook them for a couple of minutes to soften. Now add the tomatoes; adding them at this point lets them hold their shape and prevents them from disintegrating. Stir in the parsley, ketchup, and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper. Simmer the relish for 5 minutes to pull all the flavors together. Remove it from the heat; you should have about 4 cups of relish.





Place the torn white bread in a bowl and add the milk to just barely cover, swish the bread around in the milk and let it sit while you get the rest of the ingredients for the meat loaf together.





This is where you get your hands dirty! In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of the tomato relish, the eggs, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the soaked bread to the meat mixture. To test, fry a small ';hamburger'; patty of the meatloaf until cooked; the patty should hold together but still have a soft consistency. Taste the patty for seasoning.





Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Transfer the meat mixture to the center of the cookie sheet and form into a log about 9 inches long and about 4 inches wide. Coat the top of the meatloaf with another 1/2 cup of the tomato relish. Lay the bacon across the top lengthwise.





Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the bacon is crisp and the meatloaf is firm. Rotate the meat loaf while it's baking every now and then to insure that the bacon browns evenly. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it cool a bit before slicing. Serve with the remaining tomato relish on the side. Unbelievably moist!

Cook at 350 or 375* for about 40 minutes. Top with ketchup and cook some more to heat.





It has all the spices and everything you need to make it (stove top)
This is the best meatloaf I've ever eaten or made. I always get compliments on it. Also, it's okay if you don't have every ingredient and you can use turkey or beef. The glaze is the best part:

I have a good meatloaf tip I saw on Paula Dean, she put slices of white bread on the bottom of the pan, and then puts the meatloaf on top of them to suck up the fat, it works well.
Just a basic meatloaf.....ground beef, onion, bread or cracker crumbs, pepper, 1-2 eggs, and some salsa for moisture and flavoring. YUMMY! Bake at 350 for about 1 hour.
I just made this the other night! It's the best!
