How to cook deliciously - Matthew's Best Ever Meat Loaf

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, stir together the bread and stock. Let the mixture stand until the bread absorbs all the liquid. Meanwhile, pulse the mushrooms, onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped.

2. Stage

Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add the mushroom mixture, and cook until the vegetables are tender and the liquid is evaporated, five to six minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, and cook for one minute, stirring often. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly. Add the mushroom mixture, eggs, ground beef, ground pork, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt and pepper to the bread mixture. Mix thoroughly to combine everything.

3. Stage

Place a 12x7-inch piece of aluminum foil on a rack set inside a foil-lined rimmed baking pan. Transfer the meat loaf mixture to the foil, and shape it into a 10x6-inch loaf. Bake for one hour. Meanwhile, make the glaze. Stir together the ketchup, tomato paste, brown sugar, and ground mustard in a bowl. Pull the meat loaf from the oven, spread the glaze evenly over the loaf. Bake until a thermometer reads 160°, 15 to 25 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
