Make Glaze:
Make Meatloaf and Assembly:
Form into a loaf. Place in 13"x9"x2" baking pan. Put potatoes in a separate pan on upper shelf.
Bake for 1 hour or until meat is cooked. After 30 minutes, add the carrots and onions around the meat and brush loaf and vegetables with glaze.
Poster's Notes:
This can be easily adapted for Pesach by using matzo meal instead of cracker crumbs, or by making crumbs out of matzo. Frozen vegetables can be used instead of canned but cooking time for them is less. A larger pan can be used and potatoes cooked with the meat. I don't like to soak my potatoes in beef fat, so I use a separate pan. The proportion of beef to veal can be 1/2 and 1/2 without a significant difference in taste.

This is a family favorite. It makes a great company dish for a crowd. To plate it elegantly, serve on a plank surrounded by vegetables. I only use fresh vegetables and often make mashed potatoes with which I surround the meatloaf. Can also be served cold along with a salsa. Leftovers make a great sandwich! Make one and freeze one as long as you are doing it.
