Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 2 whole Poblano peppers
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 cup Ketchup
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Optional garnish: fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet. Roast them in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and charred.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to steam for 10 minutes. Once cooled, peel off the charred skins, remove the seeds and stems, and finely chop the peppers.
Reduce oven heat to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dice the onion and mince the garlic, then sauté them in the skillet for 3-4 minutes until softened. Set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, roasted poblanos, sautéed onion and garlic, parsley, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the ingredients together gently with your hands until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the meatloaf dense.
Transfer the mixture to a greased loaf pan or form it into a loaf shape on a lined baking sheet.
Spread a thin layer of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf for a glaze.
Place the meatloaf in the oven and bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve warm with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
