For an even more intense flavor, consider browning the ground chuck in a skillet before adding it to the vegetable mixture. This adds a beautiful depth to the meatloaf. Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices! A pinch of smoked paprika or a dash of chili powder can add a unique twist. For a smoother glaze, gently heat the glaze ingredients in a saucepan over low heat until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.

01 Step
Recipe View Gather all ingredients.
02 Step
Recipe View Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking dish with lightly greased foil. (5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Place carrot, celery, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor; pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a purée. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Add ground chuck to the vegetables, along with Worcestershire sauce, egg, Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Mix gently with a wooden spoon until ingredients are just combined. Sprinkle in bread crumbs and gently mix with your fingertips until just combined; don't overmix. (10 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Shape the mixture into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across. Place in the prepared baking pan. (5 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
07 Step
Recipe View Meanwhile, stir brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon, and Sriracha for glaze in a small bowl until brown sugar has dissolved. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View Remove meatloaf from the oven. Spoon glaze on the top of the meatloaf with the back of a spoon, then pull a tiny bit glaze down the sides. (3 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View Return to the oven, and bake until no longer pink inside, 45 to 75 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), so start checking at 45 minutes and continue baking until meatloaf reaches that temperature. Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf. (45-75 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View Serve hot and enjoy!
