  • Meat

    • 2 ½ pounds ground chuck

  • Condiments and Spices

    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons salt
    • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
    • 🍅 2 tablespoons ketchup

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients.

2

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking dish with lightly greased foil.

3

Place carrot, celery, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor; pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a purée. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.

4

Add ground chuck to the vegetables, along with Worcestershire sauce, egg, Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Mix gently with a wooden spoon until ingredients are just combined. Sprinkle in bread crumbs and gently mix with your fingertips until just combined; don't overmix.

5

Shape the mixture into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across. Place in the prepared baking pan.

6

Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.

7

Meanwhile, stir brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon, and Sriracha for glaze in a small bowl until brown sugar has dissolved.

8

Remove the meatloaf from the oven. Spoon glaze on the top of the meatloaf with the back of a spoon, then pull a tiny bit of glaze down the sides.

9

Return to the oven, and bake until no longer pink inside, 45 to 75 more minutes. Internal temperature should reach at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

10

Serve hot and enjoy!
