Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ¾ cup red onion, diced
- ½ cup green bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup celery, diced
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ⅓ cup ketchup
- 2 tbsp dried basil
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats, or more if required
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 3 tbsp brown mustard
- ½ tsp liquid mesquite smoke flavoring
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
Step 1
To kick off this culinary adventure, preheat your oven to a cozy 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) and get ready to jazz up your 9x13 inch baking pan with a snug layer of aluminum foil.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, combine a medley of ground beef, aromatic onion, vibrant green bell pepper, crunchy celery, eggs, savory soy sauce, and tangy ketchup. Add a sprinkle of fragrant basil, zesty parsley, earthy oregano, pungent garlic powder, and a duo of teaspoons of pepper. Toss in 1/2 cup of oats and gradually incorporate the remaining oats in 1/4 cup increments until your beef concoction reaches a delightful balance of firmness without being overly stiff. Once perfectly mixed, delicately transfer this flavorful blend into your prepared baking pan, molding it into a delightful loaf shape.
Step 3
In a dainty little bowl, whip up a luscious glaze by combining brown sugar, ketchup, rich brown mustard, mesquite smoke flavoring, a hint of pepper, and a dash of paprika. Let this delectable mixture cascade evenly over your meatloaf creation.
Step 4
Now, pop your masterpiece into the preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour until it reaches an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (72 degrees Celsius). This scrumptious meatloaf is sure to be a hit at your dining table!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Store leftover meatloaf in an airtight container to keep it fresh and flavorful.
- 2. To maximize storage space in your fridge, slice the meatloaf and wrap each portion in individual plastic wrap or foil.
