Ingredients

MEATLOAF MIXTURE:

  • 1 egg beaten
  • ½ cup bell pepper chopped
  • ½ cup onion chopped
  • 1 can 8-ounces diced tomatoes, drained
  • ½ cup oatmeal quick-cooking
  • 1¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound meatloaf mixture ground beef, pork, and veal, or your choice of meat

TOPPING:

  • ⅓ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon mustard

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix all the MEATLOAF INGREDIENTS, with your hands or a large spoon.
  • Place the mixture into a microwave-safe dish. Use your hands to form it into a loaf shape. Set it aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk all the TOPPING INGREDIENTS together. Whisk until there are no lumps!
  • Spread the topping all over the top of the meatloaf.
  • Cook the meatloaf in the microwave for 12-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can bake it in the oven at 350° for 1 hour. You can use a meat thermometer to test the inside of the meatloaf to 160° to assure doneness.
  • Let the meatloaf sit for 5-10 minutes before cutting.

EXTRA TIP:

MEAT:  You can use just ground beef instead of meatball mixture.  Or use ground chicken or turkey.  Your choice!
