Recipe

Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr 20 mins

Ready Time: 1 hr 55 mins


• preheat an oven to 375 degrees f (190 degrees c).
• place the onion, carrots, and water into a blender. cover, and puree until smooth, adding more water if needed.
• in a large bowl, combine the ground chuck, lamb, matzo meal, and eggs. stir in the onion and carrot puree a little at a time until the meat mixture holds its shape (you may not need all the puree). season with garlic, salt, and black pepper.
• shape the meat mixture into a loaf and transfer to a baking dish. pour the browning sauce and any remaining onion puree on top of the loaf. fill baking dish with about 2-inches of water, then cover with aluminum foil.
• bake in the preheated oven until loaf is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 20 minutes. remove the foil and pour ketchup in a zig-zag shape over the loaf during the last 15 minutes of baking. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees f (70 degrees c). allow the meat loaf to rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
