Melt butter in 1 quart saucepan. Add next 6 ingredients. Sauté until mixture starts sticking, about 6 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom well. Stir in milk and catsup. Cook 2 more minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Mix ground beef, ground pork, vegetable mixture, beaten eggs and bread crumbs. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined. Shape mixture into loaf and place in a 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake, uncovered at 350°F for 25 minutes, then raise temperature to 400°F and continue cooking until done, about 40 minutes longer.
