Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Zucchini, diced small
• 1 cup Red bell pepper, diced small
• 1 cup Yellow bell pepper, diced small
• 1 cup Yellow onion, diced small
• 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1.5 pounds Ground beef (80/20 mixture)
• 0.5 pounds Ground pork
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 2 large Eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 cups Balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the zucchini, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onion, and garlic to the skillet. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Sauté the vegetables for 5–7 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, beaten eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, and the sautéed vegetables (cooled). Use your hands to mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the mixture.

Step 5

Transfer the meat mixture to your prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a loaf approximately 9 inches long and 4–5 inches wide.

Step 6

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly into a glaze.

Step 7

Brush half of the balsamic glaze over the top of the meatloaf.

Step 8

Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the remaining balsamic glaze over the top.

Step 9

Return the meatloaf to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).

Step 10

Once cooked, let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
