  • 2 celery stalks, finely diced
  • 500 g (1 lb) medium ground beef
  • 250 g (1/2 lb) ground veal

  • A few drops of Tabasco sauce
  • Tomato sauce (see “Eggplant parmigiana” recipe)

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).
  2. In a skillet, heat the oil over low heat and sweat the vegetables. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the beef, veal and sausage meat.
  4. Add the vegetables, seasonings, egg, breadcrumbs and Tabasco sauce. Stir well.
  5. Shape 2 medium loaves or 6 smaller ones. 
  6. Wrap the loaves with aluminum foil, shiny side facing in.

Meat loaves are easily frozen. And you may use some leftover meat loaf in a sandwich with mustard, cheese and lettuce, in a toasted panini or even sliced and reheated in the oven with tomato sauce - it's quick and tasty.
