Country Meatloaf

2 tablespoons Canola or other vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, finely chopped
2 minced garlic or 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
3 white or whole wheat bread slices or equal amount of seasoned bread crumbs
2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey or pork or mixture of all
1 medium carrot, finely shredded
8 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground red cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 egg, beaten
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon prepared mustard

serves 8

In large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. To hot oil add the chopped onion and celery. Cook about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add garlic, cook another 2 minutes. Into a food processor or blender, put in bread slices and process to coarse crumbs. (If using ground turkey, I use only 2 slices of bread.) In large bowl add onion, celery, garlic mixture to bread crumbs and mix well. To the bread and onion mixture add 6 oz of the cheddar cheese., ground meat, shredded carrot, salt, pepper, oregano, egg, brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, and half of the tomato sauce. Mix thoroughly. (hands do it best). In a 12x8 inch baking dish or loaf pan, with hands shape ground beef mixture into loaf shape, about 8x4 inches. Set aside. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese over top. Spoon over remaining tomato sauce on top of meat loaf. Bake in 350 deg F. oven for 1 1/2 hours. Serve meat loaf warm or cover and refrigerate to serve cold.
