Meatloaf

Source: Mary Ellen's Cooking CreationsH has been bugging me for awhile to make meatloaf. I kept putting it off, not because I hate meatloaf, but because it was something I never loved growing up. I finally relented, and told him to find a recipe. He scoured my Google Reader, and found this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef (90% lean)
• 1 lb meatloaf mix (beef/pork/veal)
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
• 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 eggs
• 1 c (+/-) breadcrumbs (you have to go on feel)
• Salt and pepper (a few pinches each)
• Ketchup

Preparation

• Mix all ingredients together and form into a loaf, except ketchup. Add more breadcrumbs if you need more help holding it together.
• Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray
• Place loaf in the center of the sheet and top with ketchup
• Bake on 400 for 1 hour 20 minutes, or until internal temperature has reached 160 degrees.
• Let rest on a cutting board for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Next Time- I didn't love this recipe. I find that when green peppers are baked, they take over the dish, and that is all you can taste. H enjoyed it, and was happy he finally got to have meatloaf. So while I'm not against making meatloaf again, I do think I need to find another recipe. Any idea?
