Ingredients:
1 pound ground veal
1/2 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup tomato sauce
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground veal, bread crumbs, beaten egg, chopped onion, green bell pepper, and celery. Mix well.
3. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, thyme, and garlic powder. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
4. Add the tomato sauce, and mix until the mixture resembles a smooth paste.
5. Prepare the meatloaf by placing the meat mixture into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Spread the mixture evenly into the pan.
6. Place the pan into the preheated oven, and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until the meat is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F (72 degrees C).
7. Once done, remove the meatloaf from the oven, and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes.
8. Slice the meatloaf and serve it immediately with your favorite side dishes such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
It is important to note that veal is a lean meat, so it can easily become dry if overcooked. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, but no more. Remember, the meat will continue to cook as it cools, so be sure to remove it from the oven when the internal temperature has reached 160 degrees F.
