Preparation:
Combine the seasoning mix ingredients and set aside.
Melt the butter in a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, celery, bell peppers, green onions, garlic, Magic Pepper Sauce, Worcestershire sauce and seasoning mix. Sauté stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the mixture starts sticking excessively, about 6 minutes. Stir in the milk and catsup. Continue cooking for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and allow to cool at room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 350F.
Place the ground meat in an ungreased baking pan (13 x 9 inches). Add the eggs, the cooked vegetable mixture (remove the bay leaves), and the bread crumbs. Mix by hand until thoroughly combined. Shape the mixture into a loaf that is about 12 x 6 x 1 1/2 inches--it will not touch the sides of the pan--and bake uncovered for 25 minutes. Raise the heat to 400F and continue cooking until done, about 35 minutes longer.
