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:
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.
