Oh man. Can I just tell you how AMAZING this meal is? How great it smells? How wonderful it tastes?

I'm sad it's over. I really am.

Roasted Red Pepper Meatloaf

Before baking.

Warm and yummy.

Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
½ cups milk
1 whole egg
¾ cup Panko bread crumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
½ cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoons salt
¾ teaspoons dry ground mustard
½ teaspoons black pepper
1 cup ketchup mixed with 1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 large red peppers, sliced into eight 1.5" rounds
Eight slices of bread (optional, but totally worth it)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix first 10 ingredients with your hands in a bowl.

Divide the mixture into eighths and fill into the pepper rounds. Make sure you smoosh (yes, smoosh) them down to completely fill them.

Top each pepper round with the ketchup mixture and place on top of a slice of bread.

Set each bread/pepper on top of a baking sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.

Cool for 10 minutes, serve and sigh with happiness.

I have to say, you can totally omit the bread, but it gets so fantastically toasty and crunchy and becomes the PERFECT way to enjoy this meatloaf.
