Calories: 632kcal
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 small green bell pepper finely chopped
- 48 Ritz Crackers crushed
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 pounds ground beef
For the glaze:
- ½ cup ketchup
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl combine eggs, crackers, onions, milk, cheddar cheese, bell pepper and salt and pepper.
- Add the ground beef and shape into a loaf, do not overmix it.
- Place the meatloaf on the baking sheet and bake it in the middle of the oven for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl combine the glaze ingredients.
- Pour the glaze over the meatloaf and spread evenly, then return to oven for another 45-60 minutes or until the meatloaf is done.
- Remove and let it set for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- I like to place three slices of bread over the parchment paper and place the meatloaf over the bread to soak up extra fat and the meatload does not get soggy at the bottom.
- You can also place a wire rack on top to elevate the meatloaf.
