- 1 Tbs butter
- 1 small yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 carrot finely chopped
- 1 stalk celery finely chopped
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 slices white bread torn into pieces
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1/2 cup canned tomato soup
- 2 Tbs brown sugar
- Salt and pepper
- parsley to garnish
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then add onions, carrots, and celery.
Season with salt and pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
Turn off heat and add Worcestershire sauce. Let cool.
In a large bowl, combine bread pieces and milk. Let bread soak.
Add ground beef, eggs, and cooked vegetables to the bread mixture and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to gently combine the ingredients.
Gently form into a loaf and set on a foil-lined sheet pan.
In a small bowl, combine tomato soup and brown sugar. Pour over the loaf and spread to evenly coat.
Bake at 325°F for about one hour, or until meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 155°F.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve.
