  • 1 whole , celery stalk diced
  • 3 slice(s) , bacon
  • 1 cup(s) , Mushrooms

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Put the beef, veal, and pork into a bowl and kneed them together.
3. Pour the milk into a bowl and soak the bread in it, squeezing it into a paste. Add the soaked bread to the bowl with the meat and work them together as though you were kneading dough. Add the cheese, garlic, onion, eggs, oregano, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper and knead again until well incorporated.
4. Oil a large roasting pan with the olive oil. Form the meat mixture into a large loaf in the center of a roasting pan.
5. Stir in the plum tomatoes, tomato paste, and 1 cup water together in a bowl and pour the mixture evenly over the meatloaf. Scatter the carrots and celery in the pan around the loaf.
Lay some raw bacon strips over the loaf before baking.
6. Put the pan in the oven and bake until a skewer inserted in the center of the loaf comes out warm, about 1 1/2 hours. Add some sautéed mushrooms to the pan during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
If the loaf begins to look dry while cooking, tent it with aluminum foil.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool slightly.
7. Slice the meatloaf into servings, put 1 serving on each plate and spoon pan gravy and vegetables over and around the meatloaf.
Notes:
You can make the loaf with beef and veal only, or with just beef.
