I actually hated meatloaf before I met this divine recipe. Wouldn’t eat it, wouldn’t even think about it. However, when my friend Sarah introduced me to her coworker’s recipe I decided to give it a shot, just for DH because he loves some ground beef in anything. I try not to bore him too often with chicken dishes though. When you’re trying to eat healthy and we’ve stockpiled on chicken since it was cheap at Publix recently, it’s not looking too hopeful for him anytime soon. Moving on from that rabbit trail, the meatloaf is seriously phenomenal. It’s so moist and has EXCELLENT flavor. I dare you to try it and say it’s not one of your new faves.

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

 ½ bell Pepper diced

½ small onion diced

1 egg

½ c bread crumbs

½ c shredded cheese (any kind)

1/3 cup ketchup (reserve some for top–trust me you’ll want to use even more than this so you have plenty of ketchup)

1 t dry mustard (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl

Patty into loaf

Line pan with aluminum foil and put on pan

Smear top with leftover ketchup (can also make a mixture ketchup and brown sugar–this is a must do! The sauce is SO good)

Cook for 20-30 minutes

This is seriously one of my favorite comfort foods now….this and homemade macaroni & cheese.  Topped off with some homemade oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for dessert or maybe apple pie.  OK, this list could clearly go on & on.  Enough about me, what are yours?!
