Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°. Insert the metal chopping blade to the work bowl of a Cuisinart® Food Processor.
2. Add the onions and pulse to chop, about 8 to 10 times to finely chop. Place the remaining ingredients into work bowl except for the eggs. Pulse 6 to 8 times or until desired consistency is reached, watching carefully to avoid overprocessing. Add the eggs and pulse to fully incorporate.
3. Press mixture into a large loaf pan and bake for 1½ hours, until top is well browned and meat registers 175°F when tested – juices will run clear, not pink. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes in loaf pan, then loosen sides if necessary and turn out to slice.
4. Cover and refrigerate leftovers. Optional glaze: Combine ¼ cup ketchup with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon Dijon-style mustard. Stir until smooth.
5. Spread evenly over meatloaf after it has baked for 45 minutes. *You can vary these ingredients by using an even mixture of beef, veal, and pork. **For Meatballs: Shape mixture into balls of 2 tablespoons each, arrange in single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 375° for about 25-30 minutes.
