Meatloaf with Balsamic Reduction Drizzle !

Ingredients:

  • 1 Pound or so of Ground Meat (Turkey, beef, whatever - just not too lean)
  • 1/2 of an Onion
  • a handful of Garlic Cloves
  • 1/2 of a Red Pepper 
  • 1 medium size Carrot 
  • 1/2 cup or so a Bread Crumbs

  • Oregano
  • Basil
  • Thyme
  • A little Paprika
  • A Pinch of Cumin
  • Salt & Pepper
  • Mustard
  • Brown Sugar
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Chicken Broth
Start:
  1. Ok, There are a lot of ingredients... but, it is good and worth it. If you want to drop a couple, I am sure it will taste good! 
  2. Put the ground meat in a large bowl with one Egg, the Bread Crumbs, all the listed seasonings, (Parsley, Oregano, Basil, Thyme, a little Paprika, a pinch of Cumin, Salt & Pepper)
  3. Chop up Carrot, Garlic, Onion, and Red Pepper in a food processor (or just really small pieces)
  4. Pour chopped up Veggies in big bowl with the Meat, Egg, and Bread Crumbs
  5. Mix together with an electric mixer
  6. Put mixture in a small baking pan 
  7. Spread a generous amount of mustard and brown sugar on top of meat
  8. Bake in oven, covered with tin foil, on 375 degrees for 45 min - 1 hour or so
  9. When meatloaf is almost finished cooking, Pour a good amount of Balsamic Vinegar and a little bit of Chicken Broth in a pan, 
  10. Heat on medium for a couple minutes, then reduce to low and heat for a couple more minutes. (You will know it is ready to be a glaze when the Reduction is half of the amount of liquid you started with.)
  11. Drizzle Balsamic Reduction Glaze on top of Meatloaf in a zig zag shape for presentation
You are done! It is good? Isn't it!!??
