Who was it that told me the meatloaf at Tavern on the Tracks was good?

So you basically  make a big friggin meatball

 

typically I'll buy double the meat and make meatballs for the kids lunches at the same time out of the meat mixture.

 

I married an italian, what do you expect.

cripes, how long does it take you people to mince some veggies.

 

Only a Philistine would put raw veggies into a meatloaf. Sautéed onions and peppers are where it's at.

 

And you MUST include the time you let the meat rest on the counter if you're giving an accurate prep time.

I don't have to do anything dammit!

 

Sauteeing removes the flavor from the veggies and the flavor ends up being left in the pan, especially the onions.  If you want to taste them, mince them up really fine and either put them in raw (they'll cook along with the meat) or steep them in a little water in the microwave for two minutes.  Thank me later.

I'm going to go ahead and side with Panthro on this one. I prefer the flavor/texture of lightly sautéed vegetables to raw or blanched veggies. To each his own.

Untrue.  You need to saute the vegetables to caramelize some of the sugars and enhance and concentrate the flavor.  If you're concerned about the fond left in the pan, deglaze it with broth or booze or worcestershire or soy sauce or something and add that liquid to the loaf.
