This is a fantastic meatloaf recipe. Who would have guessed carrots would work so well in meatloaf? The secret sauce is made with only a few very simple ingredients but the sweetness will have even the picky eaters coming back for more. My wife (not a big meat eater) likes it so much that I have to double up the qty of sauce when I make this recipe.
In a large bowl, beat eggs. Add milk and bread let stand a few minutes or until the bread absorbs the liquid. Stir in the onion, carrot, cheese, herbs and seasonings. Add beef mix well. In a shallow baking pan, shape beef mixture into a 7-1/2-in. x 3-1/2-in. x 2-1/2-in. loaf. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, combine topping ingredients. Spoon some of the topping over meat loaf. Bake for about 30 minutes longer or until no pink remains, occasionally spooning some of the remaining topping over loaf. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
