Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a puree. Place the minced vegetables into a large mixing bowl, and mix in ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate vegetables and egg into the meat. Pour in bread crumbs. With your hand, gently mix in the crumbs with your fingertips just until combined, about 1 minute.
- Form the meatloaf into a ball. Pour olive oil into a baking dish and place the ball of meat into the dish. Shape the ball into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across.
- Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven. With the back of a spoon, smooth the glaze onto the top of the meatloaf, then pull a little bit of glaze down the sides of the meatloaf with the back of the spoon.
- Return meatloaf to oven, and bake until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the glaze has baked onto the loaf, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf.

MUSHROOM MEATLOAF
Trust me this isn't an ordinary meat loaf. My husband hates onions and mushrooms but he doesn't even know they are in it! Both of us hate traditional meat loaf, so I surfed through the internet until coming across something without catsup. Once I varied the ingredients a little bit, it turned out awesome.if you have a Magic Bullet (60 bucks at Wal-mart, use it to make bread crumbs instead of tearing, the bread, it comes out a lot nicer. I also use double the amount of Worcestershire sauce in mine because I like it a lot.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef. For a moist and flavorful meatloaf, use a combination of ground chuck and ground sirloin. Avoid using ground beef that is too lean, as it will result in a dry meatloaf.
- Use fresh vegetables. Fresh peppers and mushrooms will add flavor and texture to your meatloaf. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables. Just be sure to drain the canned vegetables well before adding them to the meatloaf mixture.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing the meatloaf mixture will make it tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined.
- Bake the meatloaf at a low temperature. This will help to prevent the meatloaf from drying out. Bake the meatloaf at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the meatloaf reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the meatloaf rest before slicing. This will help the meatloaf to retain its juices. Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Meatloaf with peppers and mushrooms is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its moist and flavorful meatloaf, fresh vegetables, and tangy sauce, this dish is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
