Kris­ten’s Pre­ten­tious Meatloaf

Kris­ten’s Pre­ten­tious Meatloaf
(serves six eas­i­ly, with leftovers)

1/3 pound each: minced beef and minced lamb
1/3 pound pork sausage
4 slices whole­meal bread, with­out crusts, torn into shreds
1 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup grat­ed parmesan
3/4 cup ricot­ta cheese
1 medi­um onion, minced
3 stalks cel­ery, minced
1 hand­ful curly pars­ley leaves, chopped
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried basil
salt and pep­per to taste
six slices streaky bacon

It could­n’t be any sim­pler: mix every­thing togeth­er, except for the bacon, which you drape over the loaf once it’s shaped in a glass dish that you’ve sprayed with non­stick spray, or lined with alu­mini­um (note the dar­ling extra “i” there) foil. Bake at 400 degrees for one hour.
