E-Mail Print reprint or license

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 65 minutes
Serves: 4 to 6

Husband and wife Michael Fagnoni and Molly Hawks, owners of Hawks restaurant in Granite Bay, serve this hearty meatloaf monthly as part of their Sunday Supper prix fixe dinners.

• Ingredients:

FOR THE MEATLOAF

½ tablespoon olive oil

½ cup yellow onion, minced

¼ cup carrot, minced

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 pound ground chuck

1 pound ground pork shoulder

½ teaspoon red chili flakes

1 tablespoon parsley, minced

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

1 egg

½ cup bread crumbs

FOR THE GLAZE

¼ cup brewed coffee

¼ cup bourbon

¼ cup brown sugar

1/8 cup soy sauce

¼ cup ketchup

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

• Instructions:

Glaze: Combine coffee, bourbon, brown sugar and soy sauce in a sauce pot over medium-high heat. Stir frequently until liquid is reduced by half. Add ketchup and Worcestershire sauce, stir and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes.

Meatloaf: Heat olive oil in a covered pot over low heat and add onion, carrot and garlic. Cook for about 10 minutes, until tender. Cool completely.

In a large bowl, gently mix the ground beef and ground pork, then mix the cooked onion, carrot and garlic thoroughly into the meat. Add seasonings, egg and bread crumbs. Gently blend the mixture together; do not overmix.

Form into a loaf and place in a greased baking sheet or pan and bake at 325 degrees until the internal temperature is 160 degrees (about 45 minutes).

Remove meatloaf from the oven, liberally brush on glaze and return it to oven for 10 minutes longer, or until the glaze has browned. Remove from oven and let it stand 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Note: Cook time for the glaze overlaps the cook time for the meatloaf. The prep time does not include the 10-minute standing time after meatloaf is baked.
