2 onions, diced
3 ribs celery, sliced
1 carrot, sliced
1/2 cup Swanson's reduced sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup white wine

1 tsp ground thyme
3 cloves garlic

2/3 cup Panko bread crumbs

Here is how you make Meatloaf with Vegetables:

Makes about 14 servings(Sauteing the vegetables takes about 30-40 minutes altogether, you want them to be tender and golden to give the recipe extra flavor.)Saute the diced onions, celery, and carrot in half the olive oil, til tender and golden. Add the parsley, thyme, garlic, and stir to combine, cooking briefly. Remove to a separate bowl. Put the mushrooms in the same pan, add the second tablespoon of olive oil and saute til they've released their juices and are golden. Remove to the bowl with the other vegetables, and let cool. When cooled, put them in the food processor and grind together. Return to the bowl and let rest for a few minutes.Put the gelatin in the chicken broth to soften, for about 15 minutes, and warm in the microwave about 30 seconds, then stir to dissolve. Deglaze the pan with the broth, gelatin and the wine. Cook the liquids way down until dark and syrupy. Combine with the ground up vegetables and stir. Add the egg and blend.Grind the mozzarella in the food processor, and remove to a bowl. Add the panko crumbs to the cheese, and combine. Blend with the ground meats. Combine the vegetable/broth/egg mixture with the meats/breadcrumbs/cheese mixture. Season with black pepper, if desired. Prepare a cooking rack with aluminum foil, and pierce the foil so the juices can drain away. Place in a baking sheet, then add the meatloaf mix on top. Bake at 350, uncovered, until browned, about 50 minutes. If you prefer, you can portion the uncooked meatloaf mix and freeze it in batches for cooking later.
