Req: Meatloaf Recipe ala Sheldon

Levelwave© said:

Meatloaf has always been hit or miss with me... Mix equal parts lean
ground beef and ground pork, toss in some diced onions, celery and
carrots. Add a few eggs, a handful of breadcrumbs, some spices and a
heavy dose of salt 'n pepper. Well I was reading the archives and came

across an old meatloaf thread where everyone was trying to guess
Sheldon's secret trick to keeping the meatloaf moist, but I never
managed to find the answer. So if you're still out there Sheldon (hey
it's been a while) would you mind sharing your recipe and this
'secret'
of yours?

thanks,

Im not "Sheldon" but i always add 1/2 to 1 cup of stock or other liquid
to the meat loaf depending on amount of meat used.

The first time i did this, following Leah Wolf's recipe in her book
"Jewish Cookery" (recipe on request) i thought to myself "oops, this
cant be right" because the meat mix became almost liquid, a very thick
soupy liquid, but i cooked it up and it came out like a pate, very fine
grained.

The liquid, with finely chopped veggies makes a loaf that can be sliced
thin for sandwiches.
