Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef (80% lean)
• 0.5 pounds ground pork
• 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 large carrot, finely grated
• 1 medium celery stalk, finely chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups beef broth
• 2 pounds potatoes, cut into chunks
• 2 medium parsnips, cut into chunks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, grated carrot, chopped celery, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until evenly combined.

Step 3

Lightly grease a baking dish or roasting pan with olive oil. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and place it in the center of the dish.

Step 4

Scatter the potato and parsnip chunks around the meatloaf. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 5

Pour 1 cup of beef broth into the pan around the meatloaf and vegetables to create a flavorful base.

Step 6

Cover the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes.

Step 7

After 60 minutes, remove the foil and return the pan to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the meatloaf is fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F/70°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 8

Transfer the meatloaf and vegetables to a serving platter and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 9

To make a gravy, pour the remaining liquid from the baking dish into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining 0.5 cup of beef broth. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry, then stir it into the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Slice the meatloaf and serve with the roasted vegetables and gravy on the side. Enjoy your Pot Roast Meatloaf!
