Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb sweet Italian sausage
2 slices of bread (soaked in a little milk and squeezed dry)
2 large eggs
1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano
3 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup vegetable broth
Salt & black pepper (to taste)
Fresh thyme
Extra virgin olive oil

Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, sweet sausage, soaked bread (squeezed dry), eggs, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Mix thoroughly.
2. Lay a sheet of parchment paper on your work surface. Place the meat mixture onto the paper and use your hands to roll and shape it into a tight, uniform loaf.
3. Transfer the meatloaf to a baking tray. Surround the meatloaf with the cubed potatoes and diced onion.
4. Season the potatoes and onion with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Drizzle everything with olive oil. Pour the white wine and vegetable broth over the vegetables and into the tray.
5. Bake in the oven at 400°F on the center rack for approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
6. Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted potatoes and pan juices.
