Steps:
- For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with foil.
- In a small bowl, add the milk and bread and set aside. To the bowl of a food processor, add the rosemary, celery, carrots and onions. Pulse until the vegetables are medium chopped, about 15 seconds.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground bison, pork and veal. Add in the bread mixture, chopped vegetables, Parmesan, Worcestershire, beaten eggs and some pepper and mix with your hands to combine. Continue to mix the meat for about 2 minutes or until the seasoning and vegetables are evenly distributed. Place the meatloaf mixture into the lined baking sheet and gently shape into a flat football.
- For the glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard and apple cider vinegar.
- Spread the glaze evenly over the surface of the meatloaf. Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes before cutting.
- For the sandwiches: Preheat a grill to medium high.
- Spray the meatloaf pieces with canola spray and place on the grill for 3 minutes per side. Spray the insides of the onion rolls with canola spray and grill for 1 minute per side. Transfer the grilled meatloaf and rolls to a plate and assemble the sandwiches. Begin with a roll, top with cheese, some mayonnaise, a piece of lettuce and onion and a slice of tomato. Add a piece of meatloaf and serve immediately.
FANCY MEATLOAF
"I was invited to cook dinner for Nora Ephron." As was wont to happen at one point in New York. Back in 2009, Sam Sifton was invited to a potluck in which "guests were meant to bring food inspired by Ephron's career or by the woman herself." He drew meatloaf, a dish she was known for. Here, in this recipe adapted from Gourmet, he pairs beef, veal, pancetta and Parmesan. The end result, he described, as "luxurious." And what did Ms. Ephron think? She called it "remarkable."

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Soak bread in milk for 10 minutes.
- Mix beef, veal, eggs, pancetta, Parmesan, parsley and lemon zest in a large bowl. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Squeeze the bread to remove excess milk, then chop and add it to the meat. Mix gently until well combined, but do not overmix. Transfer onto a board and shape into a fine meatloaf, shy of a foot in length and 4 inches across. Loosely cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Heat oil and butter in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatloaf and sear without moving it until it is browned, about 5 minutes. Carefully slide a spatula under the meatloaf, then gently use another spatula to help turn it and brown the second side, again without moving it for 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
- Pour out all but 2 tablespoons of the fat, return skillet to the stove and raise heat to high. Add wine and deglaze pan, scraping up browned bits stuck to it with a wooden spoon. Return meatloaf to the skillet and then transfer to the oven, basting occasionally with the pan juices, until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf reads 150 degrees, about 25 minutes.
- Transfer the meatloaf to a platter and let stand, tented with foil, 10 minutes. Slice, pour the pan juices over the top and serve.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- 2. Mix all ingredients by hand in a large bowl until the egg is no longer visible.
- 3. Transfer meat mixture into baking dish and shape into loaf. Additional ketchup can be spread on top if desired.
- 4. Bake for 45 minutes to one hour or until juices run clear when pressed.
Tips:
- Use a combination of ground meats: This helps to create a more flavorful and moist meatloaf. Try using a mixture of ground beef, ground pork, and ground veal.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture: Overmixing can make the meatloaf tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Add some moisture to the meatloaf mixture: This will help to keep the meatloaf moist and prevent it from drying out. You can add moisture by using ingredients such as eggs, milk, bread crumbs, or oatmeal.
- Season the meatloaf mixture well: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatloaf. Some good options include garlic, onion, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder.
- Cook the meatloaf at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. Cook the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing: This will help to keep the meatloaf from falling apart. Let the meatloaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf is a classic comfort food that is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and moist meatloaf that your family and friends will love.
