Meatloaf
This recipe is adapted from Paula Dean’s Aunt Peggy’s Meatloaf. It’s pretty much the same, but I have made a few slight changes. I hope you enjoy it.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lbs. lean ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion diced
1 bell pepper diced
1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
2 eggs, lighten beaten
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/3 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Method
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a saute pan over medium heat, swirl in the olive oil. Saute the onions and peppers until they begin to soften. In a large bowl, (using your hands) crumble the beef and pork, mix in the tomato paste, oats, eggs, salt, pepper and cooked vegetables. Lightly coat a baking dish with oil and form the meat mixture into a loaf.
In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Slather the glaze on top of the meatloaf and bake until the meatloaf is firm and cooked through, about 1 hour. Enjoy!
