VEGETABLE MEATLOAF WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the zucchini, bell peppers, garlic paste and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are almost soft, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• Whisk the egg and fresh herbs in a large bowl. Add the turkey, panko, grated cheese, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and the cooled vegetables; mix until just combined.
• Gently press the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a small bowl; brush the mixture over the entire loaf. Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

RED CHILE-GLAZED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• For the red chile glaze: Put the chiles in a bowl, cover with 2 cups boiling water and let sit for 30 minutes.
• Transfer the chiles to a blender, add 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid (save the rest) and blend until smooth. Add the honey, vinegar and some salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl. If the glaze is too thick to spread on the meatloaf, add a bit more of the soaking liquid.
• For the meatloaf: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add the poblanos and onions and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the cumin and cook 1 minute longer. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly,
• Whisk the eggs with a splash of water in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add in the ground chuck and ground pork, the cooled onion mixture and the chips and cilantro; mix until just combined.
• Transfer the meat to the prepared baking sheet and form into an oval loaf about 6 by 12 inches. Bake for 45 minutes, then begin to brush with a good amount of the red chile glaze. Bake, glazing occasionally, until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, about 15 minutes longer.

DAD'S MEATLOAF WITH TOMATO RELISH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Coat a skillet with a 2-count of oil and place over medium heat. Saute the onion, garlic, and bay leaves for a few minutes to create a base flavor. Throw in the red peppers and cook them for a couple of minutes to soften. Now add the tomatoes; adding them at this point lets them hold their shape and prevents them from disintegrating. Stir in the parsley, ketchup, and Worcestershire; season with salt and pepper. Simmer the relish for 5 minutes to pull all the flavors together. Remove it from the heat; you should have about 4 cups of relish.
• Place the torn white bread in a bowl and add the milk to just barely cover, swish the bread around in the milk and let it sit while you get the rest of the ingredients for the meat loaf together.
• This is where you get your hands dirty! In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and pork with 1 1/2 cups of the tomato relish, the eggs, and thyme; season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the excess milk from the bread and add the soaked bread to the meat mixture. To test, fry a small "hamburger" patty of the meatloaf until cooked; the patty should hold together but still have a soft consistency. Taste the patty for seasoning.
• Lightly oil a cookie sheet. Transfer the meat mixture to the center of the cookie sheet and form into a log about 9 inches long and about 4 inches wide. Coat the top of the meatloaf with another 1/2 cup of the tomato relish. Lay the bacon across the top lengthwise.
• Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the bacon is crisp and the meatloaf is firm. Rotate the meat loaf while it's baking every now and then to insure that the bacon browns evenly. Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it cool a bit before slicing. Serve with the remaining tomato relish on the side. Unbelievably moist!
