Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ¾ cup diced red onion

  • ½ cup diced green bell pepper

  • ½ cup diced celery

  • 2 eggs

  • ¼ cup soy sauce

  • ⅓ cup ketchup

  • 2 tablespoons dried basil

  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano

  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder

  • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup ketchup

  • 3 tablespoons brown mustard

  • ½ teaspoon liquid mesquite smoke flavoring

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with aluminum foil.

  2. In a large bowl, mix the beef, onion, green bell pepper, celery, eggs, soy sauce, and ketchup. Season with basil, parsley, oregano, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons pepper. Mix in 1/2 cup oats. Gradually mix in remaining oats 1/4 cup at a time until the beef mixture is firm but not stiff. Transfer to the prepared baking pan, and form into a loaf shape.

  3. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ketchup, brown mustard, mesquite smoke flavoring, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and paprika. Drizzle evenly over the meat loaf.
