Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Toast the bread crumbs in a dry skillet over medium heat until browned and fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside. Add the olive oil, onions, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet and cook until onions are tender, about 8 minutes. Let cool slightly. Add the onions to the bread crumbs along with the meat, cheese, and Worcestershire sauce. Toss and mix gently. Add the eggs and stir to coat the meat completely.
- Transfer to a foil-lined sheet pan and gently press into desired shape. Bake until an instant read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the center of the loaf, about 45 minutes.
- Tent the meatloaf with foil and let rest for 15 minutes while you make the gravy (or you can make the gravy while the meatloaf is baking).
- Gravy: Cook the onions, garlic, and oregano in the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until browned, about 6 minutes. Add the tomato paste and bay leaf. Stir until paste turns brick red and garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and crushed tomatoes. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook sauce until it thickens, about 5 minutes. Whisk in Parmesan cheese, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Discard the bay leaf and transfer the sauce to a gravy boat. Slice the meatloaf and serve with the gravy.

MEATLOAF FOR TOMATO HATERS
I needed a meatloaf recipe that contained no tomatoes or tomato sauce. I created this recipe using a hint of hot sauce to avoid blandness. Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies.

BO'S FAVORITE MEATLOAF - FOR MEATLOAF HATERS
My husband has always sworn that he hates meat loaf. I came across a recipe in a Campbell Soup cook book and changed it to his taste. Now he wants this meat loaf every week and absolutely loves it. It stays moist and reheats very well so we can make a large batch of it at a time. We add it to omelets in the morning and make sandwiches out of it for lunch.

Steps:
- Dice and saute onion, green onion (including most of the green parts)and celery.
- When your saute is transparent, add the garlic. (I usually slice mine with a cheese grater).
- Continue until onions are lightly browned. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Finely chop parsley.
- Breifly soak bread in water.
- Add bread, egg, and all other ingredients to the meat in a large bowl; knead together.
- Add small amounts of the V8 until it is gone or the consistency feels right to you. It should be well bound, but with a good amount of moisture to it.
- Mold the meat into buttered loaf pan.
- Turn the mold over onto a flat baking sheet, letting it fall down onto the pan to get the meat back out if necessary.
- Cook for 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Why sour cream? Its added moisture (fat not grease)you will lose from all of the nasty grease/fat you will see hanging off the sides of the loaf when it is done. Why bread? Still used as a binder, but without all of the moisture loss of breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs. Why V8? 8 wonderful veggies in a tomato liquid, I have found it is perfect for this meatloaf.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Meat: Use a combination of ground beef and pork for a moist and flavorful meatloaf. You can also use ground turkey or chicken for a leaner version.
- Add Vegetables: Vegetables like chopped onions, carrots, and celery add moisture and texture to the meatloaf. They also help to bind the ingredients together.
- Use Breadcrumbs or Oats: Breadcrumbs or oats help to absorb moisture and keep the meatloaf from becoming too dense. You can also use crushed crackers or rice.
- Season the Meatloaf: Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the meatloaf. Some popular choices include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and thyme.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the meatloaf can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Shape the Meatloaf: Form the meatloaf into a loaf shape and place it in a baking pan. You can also use a meatloaf pan if you have one.
- Bake the Meatloaf: Bake the meatloaf in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (70°C).
- Let the Meatloaf Rest: Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients, making it a great option for any meal. With these tips, you can make a delicious meatloaf that even tomato haters will love.
