Ingredients

Meatloaf

  • 2 lbs. ground beef
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1/3 green bell pepper
  • 3/4 slide of saltines (~20 crackers)
  • 2 eggs

Seasonings (1 tsp. each)

  • Nature’s season
  • Garlic powder
  • Black pepper

Tomato sauce

  • 1 14 oz. can of tomato sauce

Instructions

  1. Finely dice onion and bell pepper. Crush crackers until 1/4” pieces or smaller. Set aside.

Mixer

  1. Add meatloaf ingredients and seasonings to the bowl of a stand mixer.
  2. Pulse on low until somewhat combined, then mix on low for one minute until ingredients fully incorporated.

By hand

  1. Add ground beef and seasonings to a large bowl. Mix with hands until thoroughly combined.
  2. Add onion and bell pepper and mix again.
  3. Add saltines and mix again.
  4. Add eggs and mix again.

Bake

  1. Press meatloaf into a 8”x8” baking dish with 1” space on either side.
  2. Cover with tinfoil and bake at 375° for 45 minutes on middle rack.
  3. Cut meatloaf in half horizontally (the middle should be slightly pink). Pour tomato sauce evenly over the top.
  4. Put meatloaf back in the oven on the bottom rack uncovered for another 20 minutes.
  5. Once done, drain oil from bottom of the pan, if needed.

Notes

For a larger loaf, add another 1 lb. of ground beef and some additional seasonings. Press meat into a 9”x13” baking dish, leaving some room on the sides. Bake until no longer pink.

Tomato paste mixed with water can be substituted for tomato sauce.
