Recipe - Classic Meatloaf

One half cup Fresh bread crumbs; (about 2
slices)
One fourth cup Milk
2 tablespoon Olive oil
One half cup Onions,; finely minced
1 Garlic clove,; minced
1 pound Ground beef chuck
One half pound Ground pork butt or sweet
sausage meat
1 Large egg,; lightly beaten
1/3 cup Grated Romano or Parmesan;
or sharp cheddar cheese
One fourth teaspoon Fennel seeds
One fourth teaspoon Dried oregano
One fourth cup Chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper

Soak the bread crumbs in milk. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Lightly
grease a loaf pan.

Heat the olive oil. When hot add the onions and saute for about 8 minutes
or until golden and beginning to brown. Add the garlic and saute for a few
seconds. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the contents to a
mixing bowl.

Add the soaked bread crumbs, ground chuck and ground pork butt and mix with
1 egg. Add grated cheese, fennel, oregano, and parsley. Season to taste
with salt and pepper. (Saute some of the mixture before tasting and
adjusting for seasoning.)

Transfer the mix to a loaf pan and bake at high heat for 15 minutes. Lower
the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour or until the internal
temperature reaches 165 degrees. Let rest 15 minutes before cutting.
