Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef ( beef, pork and veal mix)
2 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 carrots, peeled and sliced
1/4 medium onions
1 garlic cloves
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3 russet potatoes, peeled and chunked 1 inch thick
3 carrots, sliced 1 inch thick
1 small onions, sliced
olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste for vegetables
chopped fresh parsley
Directions:
In a food processor, place bread and process until fine crumbs form.
Transfer crumbs to a large bowl.
Add carrot, onion, garlic and parsley to the food processor and process until minced, about 30 seconds.
Add vegetables to bread crumbs in bowl.
Add meat, grated Parmesan, eggs and salt and pepper and mix well.
If mixture seems too dry, I add a few splashes of water and remix.
Shape into a loaf and place in a greased baking pan.
Combine potatoes, carrots and onions in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then drizzle with olive oil and mix.
Place around meat loaf in pan, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley, cover tightly with foil and bake at 375F for about 45 minutes.
Uncover and bake for 15 to 20 minutes longer until vegetables are done.
