Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 F.

In a medium bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and milk. Set aside.

In a large bowl, stir together the herbs, eggs, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, paprika, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and the breadcrumb/milk mixture. Add the ground beef, pork, and veal, and gently combine all the ingredients, taking care to not overwork the meat.

Transfer the mixture to a meatloaf or loaf pan. Spread the ketchup over the top of the meatloaf. Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf registers 160 F, about 60 to 70 minutes.
