Alright, I always have something to say at the beginning of my posts...something silly or just nerdy. Not this time, this is just GOOD and that's all I think I have to put out there for you!
OK, this is the recipe, let me know what you guys think! BTW makes 4 small (perfectly cooked every time) meatloaves. It's enough to feed a family of 5 and have a little left over for sandwiches. If you don't want that much it's easy to half it.
What You'll Need:
-4 lbs ground beef
-1/2 each red, yellow, and green bell peppers (chopped)
-1/2 a red onion (chopped)
-1 1/4 cups milk
-4 eggs
-1/4-1/3 cup BBQ sauce (I use KC Masterpiece-original)
-2-3 tblsp Worcestershire sauce
-1 1/3 cups Italian bread crumbs
-1 tblsp Italian seasoning
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 ground black pepper
-1/2 cup ketchup
-4 tblspn brown sugar
-Bacon (optional)
What To Do:
Preheat over to 350. Grease the bottom and sides to 4 small loaf pans (the ones you can get at the dollar store, I think they're 3" X 7").
Whisk eggs. In a 4 cup measure cup (or an appropriate sized bowl) combine eggs, milk, Worcestershire sauce, BBQ sauce, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; mix until well blended. Add your bread crumbs to the mixture and allow them to soak for a couple minutes. In a LARGE mixing bowl break apart your ground beef and add bell peppers, onion and egg/milk mixture. Using your hands mash the crud out of that puppy! Mash until all ingredients are well blended and evenly distributed throughout. There you go! Divide into 4 equal(ish) parts and press into your greased pans. Bake @ 350 for 30 minutes, at this point if you want to have bacon on it, add that now. Cook for another 30 minutes. Now you want to drain the fat out of the pan and do your topping. Combine brown sugar and ketchup and spread across the top of your meatloaf. Turn on your broiler and broil your loaves until the glaze is sizzling. Remove from the over and let cool for about 5 minutes, cut the baby into slices, serve and ENJOY!
Goes Great with Ditalini Festive Pasta Salad (Recipe coming soon. It's not one of mine, but my mom used to make it and I have NO idea where it came from), OR brussels sprouts just steam them with butter, lemon pepper, garlic powder until tender. When they're at desired tenderness, add a fresh squeeze of lemon juice and enjoy them! They're actually really yummy! :D
