How to Make Island Inspired Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, sauté 1 medium onion, 1 bell pepper (any color), 2 cloves garlic (minced), and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger in 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat until vegetables are tender and onions are slightly browned. (If using a non-stick skillet, you may reduce or eliminate the oil).
- Stir in 1 teaspoon soy sauce, a pinch of red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Set aside to cool.
- Drain 1 (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks very well. (Use cheesecloth or a clean tea towel to squeeze out excess juice. You can reserve the juice for another use.)
- In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs lean ground beef, the cooled onion mixture, the drained pineapple, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large egg, ½ cup buttermilk, 2 teaspoons teriyaki sauce, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce. Gently mix until just combined. (Overmixing will result in a tough meatloaf.)
- Place the mixture into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon teriyaki sauce to make the glaze.
- Pour the glaze over the meatloaf.
- Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C). (The meatloaf will likely pull away from the sides of the pan, and there will be lots of juice around the edges. This can be served as a sauce over rice or drained before serving.)
