From Chrissy Teigens Cravings cookbook

3 slices white sandwich bread

⅓ cup whole milk

1 cup roughly chopped mushrooms

1 pound hot Italian sausage

1 pound ground beef

1 cup finely chopped onions

1 cup finely grated carrots

1 large egg

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

¼ cup ketchup

2 tablespoons brown sugar

Preheat oven to 350°

In a food processor, process the bread to fine crumbs (1 cup). Transfer the bread crumbs to a large bowl, cover them with the milk and let soak for 5 minutes.

In the processor, mince the mushrooms until fine. Add to the bread crumbs along with the sausage, beef, onions, carrots, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Gently mix with your hands, until just combined. (If you mash it up too much, the meatloaf gets tough.)

Coat a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray or grease with butter and place the meatloaf mixture in the pan. In a small bowl, stir together the ketchup and brown sugar and coat the top of the meatloaf with it.

Bake until the meatloaf is cooked through and the glaze is slightly dried, about 1 hour. Let cool slightly before slicing.
