Ingredients

1 medium onion, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large carrot, peeled, trimmed, halved and cut into 1/2-inch lengths
3 small cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
2 medium ribs celery, peeled with a vegetable peeler and cut into 1-inch chunks
1 1/3 pounds ground round
2/3 cup unseasoned dried bread crumbs
2/3 cup plus 4 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Few grinds black pepper
8 oil-packed anchovies, minced
20 calamata olives, rinsed, pitted and coarsely chopped
4 heaping teaspoons capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Additional ground black pepper

Steps:

Place a rack in the center of the oven, and heat to 350 degrees.
Put onion, carrot, garlic and celery in the bowl of a food processor, and pulse until the vegetables are chopped medium fine; there should be about 1 2/3 cups of chopped vegetables.
Combine all of the ingredients, reserving 4 tablespoons of the ketchup.
Add optional ingredients, if desired. Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts. Form into mounded ovals that do not touch in a 9-by-13-inch heatproof glass baking dish. Bake for 30 minutes. Spread 1 tablespoon of ketchup over the top of each loaf, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven, and let rest for 5 minutes. Using a pancake turner, remove each loaf and serve on individual plates.
