Mezzaluna’s Amazing Meat Loaf

I don’t care what anybody says…We LOVE and ADORE Mezzaluna’s Meatloaf! It’s been a staple main dish in American homes for decades. My favorite way to eat it is with mashed potatoes, and sautéed green beans when they are in season.  Allow the meatloaf to sit in it’s pan for about 15-minutes after baking so it will hold together when you slice it. Better yet, allow it to sit overnight in the fridge for sandwiches!

Ingredients:

1 lb  Ground beef
1 lb  Medium or spicy Italian sausage
1 lb  Ground veal (or add one more pound to the ground beef if you don’t care for veal.)
4  Eggs
¾ C  Whole Milk
2½  C  Fresh breadcrumbs made from white bread (of may use panko crumbs instead)
¾ C  Water
1 C  Mayonnaise
3 C  Diced onions

Ketchup
