A delightful dish that brings comfort and joy to any table, featuring a savory meatloaf paired with a sweet and tangy glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium bell pepper, finely chopped (any color)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and the sautéed vegetable mixture. Mix until just combined.
  4. Transfer the meat mixture to a prepared baking sheet or loaf pan and shape it into a rustic loaf.
  5. Brush the top of the meatloaf generously with sweet chili sauce.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
  7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
