The Fancy Food Show in San Francisco was a beautifully overwhelming event. Booth after booth, my eye started to get tired yet more selective of where I would stop and inquire. Sir Kensington’s Gourmet Scooping Ketchup presented a booth that was grand with dark coloring highlighted with reds, classy with gold picture frames in the background, and attractive from first sight given the suited man easily coaxing people to have a sample with his charm. I sampled a mini grilled cheese with the spicy variety of their ketchup; the perfect balance of spice, acid and tomato-y sweetness. Other than leaving with a great flavor on my lips and a sample jar of the Spicy Gourmet Scooping Ketchup in my pocket, I grabbed a Sir Kensington’s Blue-Blooded Meatloaf recipe. So here it is!*
PrintSir Kensington’s Blue-Collared Meatloaf
- Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
- Yield: 4 servings 1x
Description
This meatloaf features a rich vein of Pt. Reyes blue cheese and a caramelized ketchup glaze, offering a sophisticated twist on a classic comfort dish.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (4oz.) onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup (4oz.) bell pepper, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 1/4 pound (20oz) lean ground beef (pork or veal as a substitute)
- 1/2 cup (4oz.) breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/2 cup (4oz) Sir Kensington's Spiced Ketchup
- 4 oz Pt. Reyes blue cheese
- Additional Sir Kensington's Spiced Ketchup for topping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the onion, bell pepper, garlic, ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper, parsley, and 1/2 cup of Sir Kensington’s Spiced Ketchup. Mix thoroughly with your hands until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- On a piece of parchment paper, flatten the meat mixture into a rectangle about 1 inch thick.
- Place the Pt. Reyes blue cheese in a line down the center of the meat mixture.
- Carefully roll the meat mixture around the cheese, forming a loaf shape and ensuring the cheese is completely enclosed.
- Transfer the meatloaf to a baking dish and spread additional Sir Kensington’s Spiced Ketchup over the top to create a glaze.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the top is caramelized and slightly crispy.
- Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a spicier kick, use the spicy variety of Sir Kensington’s Ketchup. Leftover meatloaf makes excellent tacos. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Substitute ground pork or veal for a different flavor profile.

With a vein of Pt. Reyes blue cheese running through the center and an onomatopoeic crust, this meatloaf is a recipe to be beat.
