 Ingredients...

• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 3 green onions, chopped
• ½ white onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
• 2 celery ribs, roughly chopped
• 2 tbsp butter or olive oil
• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp kosher salt
• 1-½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp dried oregano
• ⅓ cup WATC BBQ Sauce
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 eggs, room temperature
• ¾ cup breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Glaze:

• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

• ⅓ cup WATC BBQ Sauce 

Garnish

• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method...

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position. 
2. Prepare the vegetables: Melt the butter in a medium-sized skillet on medium heat. Coat the vegetables in the melted butter. Toss in pan for about 5 minutes or until veggies are soft and translucent. Remove from heat. Set aside and cool completely. 
3. Prepare the meatloaf mixture: Place the pork and beef in a large bowl. Add the BBQ SAUCE, oregano and Worcestershire sauce followed by the cooled vegetables, eggs, breadcrumbs and parsley. Mix together by hand. Transfer the meat mixture into a 9 x 13-inch glass casserole dish and shape into a loaf. 
4. Brush and bake: Stir BBQ SAUCE and tomato paste together in a small bowl then brush it across the top and sides of the meatloaf. Transfer to oven and bake for 60 - 70 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centre of the loaf should read 155°F or 62°C when done. Remove from oven and cool for 10 minutes. 
5. Sprinkle with chopped parsley, slice and serve.
