Zesty Meatloaf - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 purple onion chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
  • 1 orange bell pepper chopped
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 4 teaspoons hot sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs
  • Honey Hot Sauce recipe below

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter a baking sheet or turn an 11-x-13-inch casserole dish over, butter the underside, and place upside down on a baking sheet. (This will help drain the grease while the meat loaves are baking.)
  • In a large bowl, mix the meat and eggs together with your hands. Set aside.
  • In a 12-inch cast iron skillet, melt the butter and cook the onion, peppers, and garlic over medium heat, stir- ring, for about 10 minutes, or until tender.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the ketchup, Worcestershire, horseradish, hot sauce, and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors combine. You may want to add more of the seasonings to your liking.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. 6. Stir in the milk and slowly begin stirring in the bread crumbs until the mixture is like a thick paste.
  • With your hands, gently begin mixing the pepper mixture into the meat until combined. You may want to add a few more bread crumbs at this point if the mixture is too wet.
  • Divide the mixture in half and form 2 loaves. Place the loaves on the greased baking sheet or turned-over casserole dish.
  • Spoon the honey sauce over the tops of the loaves and bake for about 50 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through. Serve hot.
