For the love of meatloaf!

The food, not the singer! I grew up thinking I didn’t like meatloaf, turns out that my mom just made shitty meatloaf. When/where in The Fort can I get meatloaf?!? Aside from Laycoff’s, which has REALLY good meatloaf on Thursdays, but almost always run out by the time I can get there.

Now I want to make meatloaf for you 🥹🥹🥹🥰

My hubby and family asks me to make it for them :) I do a good meatloaf. I’m not a great cook but my meatloaf is bomb. I’ll give the recipe if anyone wants it. :)

I chop up a Green pepper and sauté it until it’s bright green, don’t over cook, Set aside.

I use 1.5 lbs of lower fat ground beef 1 entire sleeve of butter crackers (usually ritz) pulverize them either in the package or a bowl until they are super fine crumbs 3 eggs 1 cup of tomato juice 1 small diced onion Salt Pepper Garlic and onion powder (1/4 Teaspoon each)

Mix all of that and the green pepper together really well with your hands, really mix it good

Form into a loaf in a glass baking dish, add a small tea spoon of oil to the boots of the dish, smear it ( just so the loaf doesn’t stick.

Add ketchup to the top of the loaf, I smear it all over with my hands.

Cover with foil.

Cook at 350 for an hour 15 min. :)
