Savory Meatloaf

I'm sorry I was unable to post personal photos accompanying my post (having a newborn has my hands tied right now) but before I made this I simply HATED meatloaf. I made a few alterations to the Simple Meatloaf Recipe you can find online and it was wonderful!

3 lb. Ground Beef (I used the 80/20)
1 Shallot
1/2 Onion
4 stalks Fresh Oregano
4 Tbs. Butter Unsalted
2 Tsp. Pepper
2 Tbs. Sea Salt
1 Tsp. Olive Oil
1 Egg
1 Tomato
1/4 cup Vinegar
Barbecue sauce to glaze on the top

Preheat oven to 350° F


Sautée

 Butter, Olive Oil, Oregano (Whole Leaves), Pepper, Sea Salt, Onion (Diced Finely), and Shallot (Shredded) in small pan until browned. 


Whip

Egg

Boil

Tomato and Vinegar in small saucepan until skin falls off of tomato. Remove skins then crush the Tomato into the Vinegar until pureed. 

Mix

Ground Beef, Whipped Egg, Tomato/Vinegar, and Contents from small pan (Butter, Olive Oil, Pepper, Sea Salt, Onion, and Shallot) together. I washed my hands with antibacterial soap and mixed it together with my fingers to ensure a complete blend. (For you germaphobes out there)

Oven

Place mixture in ceramic dish and place in oven. (It took mine 45 minutes, but others may differ in time). 

Remove from oven after meat is no longer red and glaze with barbecue sauce.

Serve and Enjoy!
