Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Grate the zucchini and carrot.
- Mince the garlic.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, grated zucchini, and grated carrot.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree, and chopped parsley. Mix everything together until well combined. It may be helpful to use your hands to ensure even distribution.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan.
- Shape it into a loaf form if using a baking sheet.
- Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- While the meatloaf is baking, measure out 1/3 cup of BBQ sauce.
- After 45 minutes, remove the meatloaf from the oven.
- Brush the top of the meatloaf with the BBQ sauce.
- Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
- Once baked, remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. This helps to keep it moist and makes it easier to slice.
- Slice the meatloaf and serve with your favorite side dishes.
Tips:
- Use ground beef with an 80/20% ratio to ensure that your meatloaf is not too dry.
- Finely chop the onion, garlic, zucchini, and carrot to evenly distribute the flavors and ensure a smooth texture.
- Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly to avoid a dense meatloaf.
- Let the meatloaf rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven to allow the juices to redistribute, making it easier to slice.
- If you prefer a spicier glaze, add a bit of hot sauce or chili powder to your BBQ sauce.
Your barbecue glazed meatloaf is now ready to be served. The combination of the tender, juicy meat and the sweet, tangy barbecue glaze makes for a perfect comfort food that will surely become a favorite at your dinner table. Pair it with some mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
