Ingredients
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (soft, fresh breadcrumbs)
- 1/4 cup vegetable juice (spicy-hot vegetable juice)
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup minced onion (sweet)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 3/4 pounds ground beef (ground round or chuck)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup relish (hot pepper relish, divided)
- Garnish: fresh basil
How to Make
-
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Stir together the first 3 ingredients and let them stand for 5 minutes.
-
Step 2: Meanwhile, saute the onion in hot oil in a medium-size skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or just until tender.
-
Step 3: Stir together the bread mixture, onions, ground beef, next 5 ingredients and 2 tablespoons hot pepper relish just until blended.
-
Step 4: Shape into 8 loaves (about 1/2 cup each); place in cups of a lightly greased 8 cup mini loaf pan. (I don't have one and just shape them and place them on a wire rack in a baking pan or jelly roll pan.). Each cup will be about 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches.
-
Step 5: Bake at 450 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer registers 155 degrees, brushing with 1/3 cup hot pepper relish during the last 10 minutes of baking. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Serve with the remaining relish.
