Spicy Italian Meatloaf

Regular old meatloaf should move over! This spicy sausage meatloaf blows it out of the water.

I love meatloaf, but unfortunately, my family gets a little sick of recipes if I make them over and over again. It kind of works out well that I have so many recipes hoarded that there is always a new one to try out. I purchased the Cravings cookbook after seeing a million and a half food snaps from Chrissy Teigen. I knew the cookbook would be wonderful and I was so right! I was excited to see this particular recipe because I had never made a meatloaf using Italian sausage. And, of course, it did not hurt at all that it was spicy.

What you need:

• 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup whole milk
• 1 lb. hot Italian sausage
• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 cup finely chopped onions
• 1 cup finely grated carrots
• 1 large egg
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup ketchup
• 2 Tbsp. brown sugar

Directions:

1. Place bread crumbs into a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 5 minutes.
2. Add sausage, ground beef, onions, carrots, egg, Worcestershire, salt, red pepper flakes, and pepper to bread crumbs.
3. Mix gently with hands until just combined. Place in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
4. In a small bowl, mix together ketchup and brown sugar. Coat meatloaf with mixture.
5. Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 1 hour until meatloaf is cooked through. 
6. Let cool about 15 minutes before slicing.

This spicy meatloaf is definitely going to be a go-to for meatloaf, but I also love this Favorite Meatloaf. On the lines of Italian, I am looking forward to trying this amazing Pizza Meatloaf from Cookies and Cups.
