For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to the glaze. If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the meatloaf. Letting the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing helps to retain its juices.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
02
Step
10 mins
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-heat. Cook and stir chopped bacon in hot butter until almost crisp, 5 to 10 minutes.
03
Step
5 mins
Pulse onion, carrot, celery, red bell pepper, poblano pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor until finely chopped. Add vegetable mixture and rosemary to bacon in the skillet; cook and stir until vegetables soften and sweeten, about 5 minutes.
04
Step
0 mins
Mix vegetable mixture, bread crumbs, and milk together in a bowl. Let cool to room temperature. Stir egg, salt, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, and cayenne pepper into vegetable mixture. Add buffalo meat to vegetable mixture and mix with your hands until well-blended.
05
Step
0 mins
Turn meat mixture out into prepared baking dish and shape into a 9x5x3-inch meatloaf. Lay bacon strips crosswise over the top of the meatloaf, tucking in ends of bacon under the loaf.
06
Step
30 mins
Whisk rice vinegar, brown sugar, and mustard together in a bowl until glaze is smooth.
07
Step
30 mins
Bake meatloaf in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Brush glaze over loaf and continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 30 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 155 degrees F (68 degrees C). Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.
