🍠 How To Make Bobby Flay Balsamic Meatloaf

1. Set oven temperature to 350°F.
2. Combine the beef and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Immediately pour the milk on top of the breadcrumbs.
3. Add nutmeg, pepper, salt, onion powder, 2 teaspoons of ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar. Put aside.
4. Crack the egg and mix it a little in a small bowl. Toss the meat mixture with the egg. (This keeps the meat from getting too tough while it’s being mixed.)
5. Mix everything thoroughly with your hands, taking care not to overwork the meat mixture.
6. Shape the meatloaf mixture into a loaf and place it in a roasting pan, preferably one made of glass. Shape it into a loaf if you like. The loaf may have cracks.
7. Run your hands under warm water and then across the meatloaf to smooth out any cracks. Put the meatloaf aside.
8. Put 2 teaspoons of ketchup, 1/2 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, and 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar in a small bowl and mix well.
9. Use a fork to mix well. Evenly coat the top of the meatloaf with the glaze.
10. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake the meatloaf for 35 to 40 minutes. Before removing the foil, make sure the sides of the loaf are lightly browned.
11. Take off the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, then take the out of the oven and let it rest uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes.

💭 Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Breadcrumbs: Fresh breadcrumbs will give the meatloaf a better texture compared to store-bought ones.
• Mix Gently: Avoid overmixing the meat mixture to prevent a tough texture. Mix just until everything is combined.
• Let It Rest: After baking, allow the meatloaf to rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps retain juices and makes slicing easier.
• Customize with Herbs: Add fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, or rosemary to enhance the flavor profile according to your preference.
