My very favorite meatloaf is a recipe that my husband created. It combines chorizo sausage with ground beef to create an intensely flavorful meatloaf that is finished off with a tangy, slightly spicy glaze that just takes it over the top!
If you are looking for a new twist on an old favorite, look no further – you have found it! Enjoy!
How to Make Corey’s Chorizo Meatloaf with Spicy Maple BBQ Glaze
Corey's Chorizo Meatloaf with Spicy Maple BBQ Glaze
An intensely flavorful meatloaf that combines chorizo sausage and ground beef. Finished off with a tangy, slightly spicy maple BBQ glaze that takes it over the top!
Ingredients
Ingredients:
Meatloaf:
- 1 lb. chorizo
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 carrot
- 1 stick celery
- 1 onion
- 1 Tbsp. garlic minced
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- ¾ cup seasoned Panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper
Spicy Maple BBQ Glaze:
- 2 Tbsp. BBQ sauce I use Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet and Spicy
- 1 Tbsp. ketchup
- 2 Tbsp. spicy maple syrup OR 2 Tbsp. maple syrup with a pinch or two of cayenne pepper
Instructions
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
- Finely chop the carrot, celery, and onion in a food processor.
- In a bowl, mix together the finely chopped carrot, celery, onion with the chorizo, ground beef, garlic, black pepper and egg. Add in the Panko breadcrumbs. You may need a little more or a little less to get that “meatloaf” consistency.
- Shape into a meatloaf and place in a greased loaf pan. (We have a meatloaf pan that drains the fat underneath while cooking.) Sprinkle the top of the meatloaf with some sea salt. Place in the oven to bake at 400°F for an hour.
- Meanwhile, make the Spicy Maple BBQ Glaze. Put the BBQ sauce, ketchup, and spicy maple syrup in a small bowl. Mix well. (Double the amount if you want some to dip your meatloaf.)
- After one hour, use a basting brush and generously glaze the meatloaf. Put back into the oven until temperature reads 160°F. (approximately 5-15 minutes more depending on your oven)
- Remove meatloaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with additional Spicy Maple BBQ Glaze.
