Swaggerty’s Farm Sausage & Veggie Meatloaf
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray. Place on a parchment or foil-lined baking sheet. Set aside.
- Finely chop carrot, celery, and onion in a food processor. Or mince finely with a knife. Place in a large bowl.
- To bowl add thyme, nutmeg, black pepper, egg, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil and sausage. Mix all ingredients together very well using your hands. Pat into a ball and place meat-veg mixture in the loaf pan. Use your hands to press down into the pan. If desired at this point smear top of loaf with half of the ketchup.
- Bake for 55 minutes. Check temp inside meat loaf using a meat thermometer if you have one. It should read about 155-160 degrees. If you do not have a meat thermometer then insert a skewer into the middle of the loaf, press gently using a spatula and see if the juices run clear. If needed bake another 10 minutes. If the loaf starts to get too dark on the top then tent with foil.
- Remove from oven when done and let cool for about 5 minutes in pan.
