Meatloaf

Heat oven to 325 degrees F.

Combine bread crumbs, black pepper, chili powder, salt and thyme.

Finely chop or process the onion, carrot, and red pepper.

Combine the vegetable mixture, ground beef, and bread crumb mixture.
Add the egg and combine thoroughly, but avoid squeezing the meat.

Press meat mixture into a loaf, but don’t compress too much.

Place on the foil lined sheet pan.

Insert a temperature probe at a 45 degree angle into the top of the meatloaf. Avoid touching the bottom of the pan with the probe. Set the probe for 155 degrees.

Combine the ketchup, cumin, Worcestershire sauce, tabasco sauce and honey.
Set aside a few tablespoons for later. Brush the glaze onto the meatloaf after it has been cooking for about 10 minutes.

Move the probe to a new spot and double check doneness. If it is not done, return it to the oven until it is.

Move the loaf onto a serving dish and brush with the remaining sauce.
