CHIPOTLE MEATLOAF

By convred

Adapted from the Parish Café, Boston (via the Boston Globe, January 2006), this meatloaf can be a little bit spicy -- or a little bit more spicy. Serves 4-6.

Ingredients

• Olive oil (for the pan)
• 1 lb 93% lean ground sirloin
• 1 lb 80% lean ground beef
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1 egg
• 1-1/2 tsp each kosher salt and ground black pepper
• 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 1 Tbsp canned chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 2 Tbsp shredded romano cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a 9x5x3 inch loaf pan.

In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix together lightly with your impeccably clean hands. Press mixture into the loaf pan and cover with foil. Set the loaf on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, and continue baking for 10 minutes, or until browned
