Think outside the loaf pan for this mini version of the dinnertime staple.
Ingredients
- 1 onion, roughly chopped
- 1 large carrot, roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped into 1" pieces
- 1/4 c. chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
- 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
- kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste
- 1/2 c. panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 c. ketchup, plus 4 tbsp. for glaze
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1 lb. asparagus, cleaned and trimmed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add onion, carrot, celery, parsley, and garlic. Pulse until all ingredients are incorporated. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, tomato paste, panko, egg and 1/2 cup ketchup and mix together. Add meat and mix by hand until just incorporated.

- Meanwhile, place a steaming rack in a large pot filled with 1" water. Boil water, then add asparagus and steam for 5 to 10 minutes. Serve meatloaf with asparagus and garnish with parsley.
