Instructions: Combine onion, carrot, bread crumbs, parsley, basil, thyme, pepper, garlic, eggs, milk, salt to taste, tomato paste and beef and mix until thoroughly incorporated.

Spoon meat mixture into 2 greased 9- by 5-inch loaf pans, dividing evenly. Do not tightly pack meat into pans. Smooth tops.

Mix cranberry sauce with brown sugar until lumps are eliminated. Spread over loaves. Bake at 350 degrees until done, 45 to 55 minutes.

This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.

Comments: At Lashers, the meatloaf is served with a veal demiglace. You can purchase demiglace from well-stocked supermarkets or make a gravy to serve with this, if you desire.
