Yoshida's Meatloaf with Grandma Judy's Balsamic Glazed Asparagus

Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: 1 hour
Serves: 8

Ingredients
2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 cup plain dry bread crumbs (I like to substitute 1 cup of pureed carrots)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup Mr. Yoshida's Original Gourmet Marinade

Directions

Preheat Oven to 375 F

In a large bowl mix together beef, bread crumbs (or carrots), onion, eggs, and 1/2 cup Yoshida's Marinade.

Place in a loaf pan, or form into the shape of a loaf and place in a baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes. Brush top with remaining 1/2 cup of Yoshida's Marinade and bake for an additional 15 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Directions for Grandma Judy's Balsamic Glazed Asparagus

Preheat over to 400 F. Wash asparagus and break off ends. Lay on a foil lined baking sheet.

Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with pepper and garlic power. Use your fingers to mix around the asparagus, to coat each one.

Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on thickness of asparagus and desired tenderness. Turn once halfway through baking time.

Enjoy!
