Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in small skillet over medium heat and sweat onions and garlic until translucent. Let onions cool. Place remaining ingredients and onion mixture in large bowl and mix with your hands. Oil a 9-by-5-inch meat-loaf pan with blended olive oil and place mixture in pan, pressing down and packing medium tight (or mold into a meat-loaf shape and place in shallow roasting pan).
