Ingredients
  • 1½ pounds of ground beef ( I used 80/20 because you need some fat to keep it juicy)
  • 2 cups of breadcrumbs
  • 3 TBSP buttermilk
  • ½ cup crispy onions
  • ½ cup crispy jalapeno strips
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper each
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 cajun seasoning
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 TBSP worcestershire sauce
  • 1 TBSP coca-cola
  • 1 egg, slightly beaten
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • Balsamic Mustard Glaze:
  • ½ cup ketchup
  • 3 TBSP butter
  • ¼ cup of balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup spicy brown mustard
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • 1 TBSP soy sauce
  • ½ tsp minced garlic
  • 2 TBSP of pineapple juice
Instructions
  1. Melt the butter in a heavy cast iron skillet. Saute the onions, bell peppers and garlic until soft and tender. Remove from the pan and pat to take away some of the excess moisture. Combine the meat with the veggies and remaining ingredients, leaving the eggs and buttermilk until last. Mix well and either form into a mound on a foiled lined baking sheet or place into a foiled line loaf pan. Slather with half of the glaze and bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Remove and spread remaining glaze on top- bake for another 15-20 minutes until slightly crispy on top.
  2. For the Glaze:
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter and add in the brown sugar, ketchup and mustard. Stir to combine and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add in the remaining ingredients. Allow to simmer for 10-15 minutes until reduced by half and thick.
