This is an old family recipe with a touch of Californian flair. Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef |
3/4 cup diced red onion |
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper |
1/2 cup diced celery |
2 eggs |
1/4 cup soy sauce |
1/3 cup ketchup |
2 tablespoons dried basil |
1 tablespoon dried parsley |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
2 teaspoons garlic powder |
2 teaspoons ground black pepper |
1 cup quick cooking oats, or as needed |
1/4 cup brown sugar |
1/4 cup ketchup |
3 tablespoons brown mustard |
1/2 teaspoon liquid mesquite smoke flavoring |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon paprika |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil.
2. In a large bowl, mix the beef, onion, green bell pepper, celery, eggs, soy sauce, and ketchup. Season with basil, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Mix in 1/2 cup oats. Gradually mix in remaining oats 1/4 cup at a time until the beef mixture is firm but not stiff. Transfer to the prepared baking pan, and form into a loaf shape.
3. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ketchup, brown mustard, mesquite smoke flavoring, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and paprika. Drizzle evenly over the meat loaf.
4. Bake meat loaf 1 hour in the preheated oven, or to a minimum temperature of 160 degrees F (72 degrees F).
