Description

This juicy meatloaf with green peppers and onion is topped with steak sauce for a surefire hit any night of the week.

Ingredients

1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
3 tablespoons steak sauce, (e.g. Heinz 57)
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup steak sauce, or more to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan. Combine bread crumbs and milk in a small bowl; set aside to soften.
2 Mix ground beef, onion, bell pepper, steak sauce, egg, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl; add bread crumb mixture and mix with your hands until combined.
3 Pat the mixture into the prepared loaf pan; brush the top with 1/4 cup steak sauce.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Allow to stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
