Photo: Roasted Vegetable Meatloaf with Balsamic Glaze Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large zucchini, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1 yellow pepper, finely diced
- 5 cloves garlic, smashed to a paste with coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, divided
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 pound ground veal
- 1 pound ground beef chuck
- 1 cup panko (Japanese) bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Romano or Parmesan
- 1 cup ketchup, divided
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the zucchini, peppers, garlic paste, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until almost soft, 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Whisk together the eggs and herbs in a large bowl. Add the meat, bread crumbs, cheese, 1/2 cup of the ketchup, 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar, and the cooled vegetables and mix until just combined.
Mold the meatloaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Whisk together the remaining ketchup, balsamic vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush the mixture over the entire loaf. Bake the meatloaf for 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

My nine year old made this by herself and it was awesome. She did add a chopped yellow onion and followed the advice of other reviews and waited to add the balsamic glaze until 20 minutes prior to being done. She also shaped the meatloaf into a heart as only a child would, and served it to her Dad for dinner.

I made this exactly as written (not like me, I usually add some of my own touches but I resisted and it was absolutely delicious! I had no problem with it staying together and cut perfect slices. I was careful not to overcook the vegies and I think having it sit when it came out of the oven was important. The glaze on the top was so good and the inside was moist, could not have been any better. Love the Balsamic Glaze, never to much of that for me. We Loved this Meatloaf and I've made it many times. I have also substituted fresh ground turkey meat to try to make it a little healthier. Still perfect and even reheated was excellent.
