Instructions: Heat the butter in a heavy skillet and add green onion, white onion, carrots, celery, red bell pepper, green bell pepper and garlic.

Cook, stirring often, for 10 minutes or until moisture has evaporated. Set aside to cool.

In a large mixing bowl, combine salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, cumin and eggs and mix well. Add ketchup and half-and-half. Blend thoroughly.

Add ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs and vegetable mixture. It might be easier to mix this with your hands. Grease a loaf pan and add meat mixture, pressing it into corners. Put loaf pan in a larger pan filled 1 inch-high with boiling water. Cook in oven for 45 to 60 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Serve with meatloaf gravy.
