About the Recipe

Ingredients
Olive oil - 4 tablespoons, separated
Onions - one medium, finely chopped
Red pepper - 1 medium, diced
4 Garlic cloves, minced or equivalent teaspoon garlic powder
Italian herbs - 2 tablespoons
Eggs - 3 large
One teaspoon salt
Pepper - ½ teaspoon
Lean ground beef - 2 pounds
Worcestershire sauce - 2 tablespoons
Balsamic vinegar - 3 tablespoons, separated
Tomato marinara sauce - 1 cup
Parmesan cheese - ½ cup, grated
Mozzarella cheese - 1 cup, shredded
Bread crumbs - 1 cup
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C)
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and pepper and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cook another minute or two, stir in the Italian herbs, and remove heat.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs well - season with salt and pepper, and whisk to combine.
Put the beef in a large bowl, add the egg mixture, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, the Worcestershire, 2 tablespoons of balsamic, and ½ cup of marinara sauce. Add the parmesan, mozzarella and bread crumbs, and onions, then mix it with your hands until just combined - do not over mix.
Lightly oil a 9 x 5 loaf pan and pack the meat mixture into it. Whisk the remaining tablespoon balsamic in the remaining ½ cup of marinara, and spread this evenly over the meatloaf.
Bake for about an hour or until cooked. Allow resting for about 5 minutes before serving.
