• 1 cup Ketchup
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tbsp Better Than Beef Bullion
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 tbsp A-1 Steak Sauce
• 2 tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
• 2 lb Ground Beef
• 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs
• 1/2 cup Whole Milk
• 4 clove Garlic
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Carrot
• 4 oz Mushrooms
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 large Hard Boiled Eggs
• 1 tsp Kosher Salt
• 1 tsp Ground Black Pepper

1. To make the sauce, combine all ingredients for the sauce in a medium sauce over medium-low heat.
2. Whisk to thoroughly mix.
3. Bring the sauce to barely a simmer and remove from the heat.
4. To add an extra dimension to the sauce, saute 4 ounces (1/2 a package) of sliced mushrooms with olive oil in separate saute pan until golden brown and add them to the sauce.
5. To start the base for the meatloaf, finely mince the carrot, onion, garlic cloves, and 4 ounces (1/2 a package) of mushrooms.
6. Saute the vegetables over medium heat in a large saute pan in a tablespoon of olive oil until soft.
7. In a large mixing bowl combine the sauteed vegetables, bread crumbs, milk, salt, pepper, and eggs.
8. Let this mixture sit for about minute to allow the bread crumbs soak up the milk.
9. Add the ground beef to the mixing bowl.
10. Use your hands to completely mix all the ingredients together.
11. Your hands will get very messy, use gloves if desired.
12. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for about a half hour to let it set.
13. After the mixture had chilled, form a ball of meat with a hard boiled egg in the center.
14. There should be enough to form 3 to 4 of these balls.
15. Use rolled up tin foil to form a circle to stand the large meatloaf balls on.
16. Cook in a preheated 350F oven for about 45 to 60 minutes, until the outside is golden brown.
17. Another option is to cook them on the grill with some wood chunks to add a little smoke flavor.
18. Remove from the oven and let meatloaf rest for 5 minutes.
19. Remove the foil.
20. Slice, add sauce, and enjoy.
