How to Make Sweet And Spicy Meatloaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1.5 lbs ground meat (beef, pork, or a mix), 1/2 lb sage sausage, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1 tbsp sazón seasoning, 1/4 cup sofrito, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup bread crumbs, 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, and 2 tbsp brown sugar. Finely chop 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 cup celery, 2 cloves garlic, 1/2 cup each of chopped yellow and red bell peppers. Add the vegetables to the meat mixture and mix thoroughly.
  3. Lightly grease a large (9x13 inch) glass baking dish with vegetable oil.
  4. Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared baking dish, shaping it into a loaf. Use the side of your hand to create a slight indentation in the center of the meatloaf to ensure even cooking.
  5. Pour 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce evenly over the top and sides of the meatloaf using a spoon to spread.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
