TWENTY-FIVE INGREDIENT MEATLOAF
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat oil in heavy skillet. Add green onions, celery, garlic, carrot, onion and peppers and saute until sweated, about 5 minutes. Do not overcook. Set aside to cool. Combine salt, black and white peppers, cayenne, cumin, garlic powder, paprika, thyme, sugar and eggs in a large bowl and beat well. Add half-and-half and ketchup and blend thoroughly. Add meats, breadcrumbs, cilantro and cooled vegetables to egg mixture and blend thoroughly with hands for about 5 minutes.

Bake 45 minutes, then uncover and bake 15 minutes more. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- Use a variety of whole grains. This will give your meatloaf a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include brown rice, quinoa, oats, and barley.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
- Let the meatloaf rest before baking. This will help the flavors to meld and the meatloaf to hold together better.
- Bake the meatloaf at a moderate temperature. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatloaf is cooked through. The internal temperature of the meatloaf should reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf cool slightly before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to hold its shape.
- Serve the meatloaf with your favorite sides. Some good options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
