Ingredients

3 small zucchini, diced

3 red bell peppers, diced

2 medium-size red onions, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, divided

2 pounds ground beef chuck (20% fat)

2 cups coarsely grated whole-milk mozzarella cheese (about 8 ounces)

1 1/2 cups panko* (Japanese breadcrumbs)

1 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper

1 cup ketchup, divided

2 large eggs

1/4 cup dry red wine

Mustard Mashed Potatoes

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 450°F. Combine zucchini, peppers, and onions in medium bowl. Add oil and 1 tablespoon rosemary; toss to coat. Spread evenly on rimmed baking sheet; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until vegetables are tender, about 25 minutes. Remove from oven; cool.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix ground beef, mozzarella, panko, basil, marjoram, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, dried crushed pepper, 1 tablespoon rosemary, and 1 cup roasted vegetables in large bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup ketchup, eggs, and wine in medium bowl. Add to beef mixture; stir with wooden spoon until well incorporated; spoon into 9x5x3-inch loaf pan, forming rounded top.
Step 3
Spoon 1/2 cup ketchup over top of loaf. Bake meatloaf until cooked through, juices run clear, and top is browned, about 1 hour 10 minutes. Remove pan from oven; let meatloaf rest 20 minutes.
Step 4
Rewarm remaining vegetable mixture in large nonstick skillet. Turn meatloaf out; cut into 1-inch-thick slices. Top with warm roasted vegetable mixture; serve with mashed potatoes.
Step 5
*Flaky panko crumbs are the best substitute for fresh breadcrumbs in almost anything, including meatloaf. Look for them in the Asian foods section of the supermarket and at Asian markets.
