Add 1/4 t. dried thyme, 1/4 t. ground coriander, use 1/2 C. quick cooking oats for bread crumbs. Brush with Vincotto then brush at 20 minutes and again when done. I baked at 375 degrees, oval shaped loaf in 9 x 11 baking dish. My instant read thermometer read 150 degrees at 50 minutes.
Very easy meat loaf that I've made many times (from Cusine Rapide but omits the mushrooms). For dinner for 2 I used a pound of local ground lamb and used a little more than 1/2 of the other ingredients. I formed it into a loaf and surrounded it with potatoes, turnips, and celery root (about 3/4 inch pieces tossed in olive oil) in an ovenproof pan (e.g., cast iron) and baked. Quite delicious one-pan dinner. Everything was cooked in an hour.
