This meatloaf is made with the same mixture Italians use to make meatballs: ground beef, pork, and veal, seasoned with Parmesan and parsley. It's topped with a ketchup-balsamic sauce mixture, which turns into a wonderfully sticky crust when baked. Slice the meatloaf and make delicious Italian-style sandwiches.

Ingredients:

• 900 g of a mixture of ground beef, pork, and veal
• 3 slices of stale white bread, 2.5 cm thick.
• Milk to soak the bread
• 2 eggs
• A couple of handfuls of grated Parmesan
• 0.5 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1/4 cup grated onion
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, grated or finely chopped
• Olive oil cooking spray

• 2 tablespoons store-bought balsamic reduction (or combine 1/4 cup vinegar and 1 tablespoon brown sugar in a small saucepan and reduce to about 2 tablespoons)
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• Chicken broth for reheating
• White bread with crust for serving
• Toppings: lettuce leaves, tomato, red onion, thinly sliced ​​fresh mozzarella and torn fresh basil leaves.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
• Place the minced meat in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. Cut the crusts off the bread and place them in a small bowl, cover with milk, and soak until soft. Squeeze the milk from the bread and crumble it, adding it to the meat. Then add the eggs, cheese, parsley, grated onion, and garlic and mix well. Form a roll about 10 cm high and place on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.
Step 3
• Mix ketchup with balsamic vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt. Spread about 1/3 cup of the ketchup mixture on the meatloaf. Bake until tender, about 1 hour.
Step 4
• To reheat, slice the meatloaf into 4-cm-thick slices and place in a saucepan with warm chicken broth. Serve the meatloaf hot or cold on a thick slice of bread, topped with the remaining ketchup mixture, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mozzarella, and basil.
