["First, move your oven rack to the middle position and preheat your oven to 400\u00b0F.", "Next, combine bread crumbs, Adobo, seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and pecorino-romano cheese (be sure to pack it tight into those tablespoons, now!) in a medium mixing bowl. If you would like a little bit of color in your meatloaf, finely mince a bit of parsley and add that as well. Stir with a fork or whisk in order to get everything evenly distributed, and set the mixture aside.", "Drop the egg into a small bowl and beat it just until the yolk is broken up a bit. Set this aside as well.", "Now, dispense the ground beef (in small clumps) into a large bowl. Add to this your red wine, 2 tablespoons of ketchup (actually two \"squeezes\""; it may be closer to 2 teaspoons -- my eye for these things is terrible)
