SWEET AND SPICY MEATLOAF

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 green bell peppers, diced small
2 red bell peppers, diced small
1 large yellow onion, diced small
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup whole milk
2 heads garlic, roasted and mashed into a paste
2 heads garlic, roasted and mashed into a paste
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup steak sauce
1/4 cup sriracha
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning
2 pounds 80/20 ground beef
1 pound sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
3 eggs, beaten
1 bunch fresh Italian parsley, chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Mashed potatoes, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the green peppers, red peppers and onions until very soft and browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet and refrigerate until cold. (This can be done a day ahead.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Mix the breadcrumbs, milk and roasted garlic in a bowl; it should have an oatmeal-like consistency. Set aside.
  • In another bowl, mix the ketchup, steak sauce, sriracha, maple syrup and steak seasoning. If the sauce is too spicy for you, add a little more ketchup to mellow the heat. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, combine the ground beef, sausage, parsley, eggs, pepper-onion mixture and two-thirds of the meatloaf sauce. Mix well, but don't overwork. Take a small ball of the mixture and make a bite-size patty. Saute the patty in a pan until cooked through, then taste. Add salt and pepper to the meatloaf mix as needed.
  • When you are happy with the flavor, place the meatloaf mixture in a greased loaf pan, or form it into a log and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees F, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven; adjust the oven to a low broil. Brush the top of the loaf with half of the remaining sauce, then return to the oven to caramelize the sauce, 2 to 3 minutes. Let rest for 20 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes and a drizzle of the remaining sauce.

SPICY, GARLICKY MEATLOAF



Spicy, Garlicky Meatloaf image

This meatloaf is as pungent and zesty as a meatball, but baked in that iconic, sliceable loaf form. A combination of chilies and sage add a spicy, earthy note, and a glaze of tomato paste and olive oil elevates a traditional dish away from its ketchup roots. The pine nuts are a visual cue: this is something a little different. And it tastes great the day after.
