Major comfort food! A blend of ground beef, pork and veal with seasonings, herbs and spices that form a tender loaf of incredible flavor.

In the kingdom of comfort food, meatloaf is royalty. Rich in flavour and simple to prepare, it fills you up and makes you feel good. Whether served with mashed potatoes, eaten as a sandwich, or sliced cold for a picnic the following day, meatloaf is a wonderfully versatile and budget-friendly food. For great flavour, I like to start with equal parts ground beef, pork, and veal, rather than just beef alone. Combining three types of ground meat and lots of veggies, lends terrific depth and texture to this Classic Meatloaf. Don't forget slathering the top with Heinz ketchup before it goes into the oven! The tomato sauce caramelizes into the most delicious glaze, and adds a wonderful tang and subtle sweetness to this robust and flavourful 'blue-plate special'. However, to qualify as the ultimate comfort meal, meatloaf needs it's crowning glory — a fluffy mound of creamy buttery mashed potatoes. The gastronomic equivalent of a warm blanket, we all return to simple fare when we crave comfort. So as the weather starts to turn chilly, what better way to nourish the body and soothe the soul, than making your own favourite comfort food — whatever it may be.

In a large bowl, combine the meats, eggs, vegetables, bread crumbs, and parsley, and mix together using your hands. Transfer the mixture to a 5-by-9 inch loaf tin. Cover the loaf with remaining ketchup, and bake in the oven for at least 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through. Let cool slightly before serving with mashed potatoes. Creamy Mashed Potatoes Serves 4-6 4 lb yukon gold or baking potatoes, peeled and cut into quarters salt and pepper 2 cups heavy cream 3 tbsp butter 2 tbsp chopped chives In a large pot, bring the potatoes to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well. Heat the butter and cream in a small saucepan. Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher, or ricer, until smooth and free of chunks. Add the hot cream and butter, and season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped chives and mix well. Serve warm with meat loaf.
