Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Insert the metal chopping blade to the Cuisinart® food processor work bowl. Place all ingredients into work bowl except for the eggs. Pulse 4 to 6 times or until desired consistency is reached, watching carefully to avoid overprocessing.
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. Cover and refrigerate leftovers.
*Optional glaze: Combine ¼ cup ketchup with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon Dijon-style mustard. Stir until smooth. Spread evenly over meatloaf after it has baked for 45 minutes.
