Meatloaf With A Kick! - cooking recipe

Ingredients

For the glaze
3/4 cup catsup
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
For the meatloaf
1/4 cup oats
1 egg, beaten
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 onion, quartered
1 carrot, peeled and cut into pieces
1 celery rib, cut into pieces
2 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
2 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation

To make glaze whisk together glaze ingredients in a measuring cup or bowl and set aside.
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
In a food processor or blender grind the oatmeal and then transfer them to a large bowl. Add egg, milk, salt, peppers and cumin to oats and stir to combine.
In the food processor add the vegetables (onion - garlic) and pulse until chopped (I processed a bit too long so mine resembled baby food but it still worked out well). Add to the ground beef mixture, stirring to combine -- do not over mix.
Spoon into a loaf pan (original recipe said to form into a oval that is 8 x 4 x 3 -- but the loaf pan is so much easier.
Bake for 10 minutes and then spoon glaze over loaf. Cook for another 50 minutes or until done. Let rest a few minutes before serving.
