How To Prepare Mouth Watering Meatloaf

Meatloaf tends to be a bit on the boring side. However, you will discover my meatloaf recipe to be anything but boring. In fact, while full of intense flavor, this meatloaf recipe is not overpowering nor is it disappointing.

The video will give full details as to how to prepare this fantastic dish. Keep in mind, it comes down to a, “Do as I say, not as I do” situation. The reason I say this is due to the fact that I did a small experiment with the meat. Normally, I would use a combination of chuck and sirloin. On this occasion, I decided to use 100 percent sirloin. The experiment did not go as planned. Don't get me wrong, the meatloaf tasted great. However, it did not hold together as well a it normally would had I used my typical combination of meats.

When all is said and done, this meatloaf is tremendous. Give it a try and see what you think. I believe you will enjoy the results.

INGREDIENTS
Two packages of hamburger meat (blend chuck and sirloin)
Half to one package of garlic croutons (depending on the amount of meat you choose to use).
½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp thyme

1 TBS onion powder
1 TBS garlic powder
1 carrot

Half of a red bell pepper
1 ½ tsp salt
1 egg

INSTRUCTIONS
In a food processor, add croutons, black and cayenne pepper, chili powder, thyme, onion powder, garlic powder, the carrot, red bell pepper. Pulse food processor to combine ingredients and bring mixture to a proper consistency.

In a large mixing bowl, place hamburger meat and add mixture from food processor. Mix carefully by hand, making sure to not squeeze the meat together. You are seeking an airy mixture, not a tight mixture.

Place mixture in a loaf pan to shape before turning out onto cooking sheet.

Place in 325 degree oven and cook until internal temperature reaches 155 degree.

When meatloaf reaches 135 to 140 degree, pull out of oven to add glaze. To learn how to make the glaze, please watch my video about homemade barbeque sauce ( http://youtu.be/XxYcKs3tQMI ). Cover meatloaf completely before returning to inside of oven to complete cooking process.

Once meatloaf has reached 155 degree, remove from oven, slice, and serve.
