I'm not a cook to say the least, but back in the day my meatloaf is the only one my dad would eat. I just used ground beef and like you onion and green pepper. Instead of bread crumbs I used quick oats, egg, a little milk, brown or yellow mustard and ketchup. I think that was all.

I always make The Store Meatloaf but I don't how to link it here. It has 1/4 chili sauce in with the meat and is topped with chili sauce and 4 slices of bacon before baking. You can Google the recipe. It is full of flavor!

I always made Ann Landers recipe for meatloaf:

Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 egg
1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
3/4 cup ketchup
1 teaspoon Accent® seasoning mix
1/2 cup warm water
1 package dry onion soup mix
2 slices bacon
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce

directions

Mix together all ingredients except bacon and tomato sauce. Mix very well. Form into a loaf and put into a bread loaf pan. Cover with bacon and pour tomato sauce over loaf.

Bake on the middle level of a preheated 350 degrees F oven for one hour.

I have made this meatloaf many times in the past. My family LOVES it. Good enough to serve to company! https://louisiana.kitchenandculture.com/recipes/chef-pauls-meat-loaf

I do not use the pepper sauce.

Time consuming, but worth it!

I also really like The Barefoot Contessa's turkey meatloaf. I'm sure you could make it with regular meatloaf mix if you prefer

this is very similar to my recipe, but i use milk instead of water, sometimes white bread instead of bread crumbs, AND i prefer a brown gravy instead of a tomato based sauce.

Accent has MSG, some people may be sensitive to that.

COMBINE:

1 lb ground beef

1 egg

1/2 C chile sauce

1t worchester sauce

1t salt

1 large onion (diced)

10 crackers (crushed) - I use Ritz crackers

FORM INTO LOAF

CRUSH 3 MORE CRACKERS AND SPRINKLE ON TOP OF LOAF

CUT 2 SLICES OF BACON IN HALF AND PLACE ON TOP OF LOAF

BAKE @ 350 FOR 1 HOUR

Enjoy!

I use the Lipton onion mix meatloaf recipe. It's easy. Just google it for the recipe. I make a "sauce" to go over it when I bake it. It's a Ree Drummon recipe:

1/2 cup ketchup

6 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp dry mustard

dash of hot sauce

dash of worchstershire

(the last 2 ingredients is to tase)

I make one batch to cook mealoaf with and extra batch for the side because my husband loves it!

My mother gave the recipe to her sister. She's 75 and never made meatloaf and my Mom said that my aunt said both her and her husband loved it.

My favorite Meatloaf:

First, dice onion, green and red pepper. I use about half of each one. Slowly saute them until soft. I find that they don't cook enough in the meatloaf and it tastes better.

Let that cool. Then add to:

1 1/2 lb hamburger

1 beaten egg

1/4 cup fine bread crumbs I put one slice of bread in my blender

1/8 cup milk

2 tsp worchestershire sauce

1/2 t oregano

1 tsp basil

1 tsp season salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 cup chili sauce

I substitute Italian seasoning for the oregano and basil

Smoosh it all together and bake at 350 until it's 2/3 of the way done. Then I take it out and drain the grease. The add the topping and continue baking until done.

Topping:

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 tsp cider vinegar

My GD and I were just discussing recipes this afternoon. She said that this meatloaf was to die for and she could have just eaten the sauce with a spoon.

The beef concentrate translates to 1/4 cup beef broth.

I just made meatloaf tonight! I think mine is pretty awesome!

I get a 1 1/2 lb of ground chuck & pork combo. Then I add 2 eggs, 1/2 c minced onion, 3/4c of grated carrots, 1/2 c Italian bread crumbs, 1 teas. ground sage, 1 teas. oregano, kosher salt & black pepper (to your own liking.). I mix this all together and form a loaf. Now here's the important thing! Use a pressure cooker! I use a 6 qt size and use the rack, inside. Put 1 1/2 c of water in the bottom of the pressure cooker,place the meatloaf in and peel and slice whole carrots and cut up potatoes (I keep the skins on the potatoes). I arrange the sliced carrots and potatoes around the meatloaf. Then I mix a simple topping for the meatloaf. I use 1/2 c brown sugar and mix in some catsup. You don't want too much, just enough totop the meatloaf. Slice a green pepper, length-wise and arrange the strips on top of the sauce-covered meatloaf. Once the pressure cooker starts jiggling, turn stove down until it maintains a slow jiggle and timefor 45 minutes. After that time, turn stove off and let the pressure drop on it's own. I'm telling you, you will not believe what a wonderful aroma will be coming from your kitchen. And the leftovers make the best sandwichesthe nextday!

I'm a southern girl (GA) and my family's favorite meatloaf is from 'Miss Mary Bobo's Boarding House', "an American legend" in Lynchburg, TN.

Boarding House Meatloaf

1 & 1/2 lbs ground chuck (or your preference)

3/4 cup uncooked oatmeal

1/4 cup chopped onions

1/4 cup chopped bel lpeper

1/4 cup catsup

2 eggs beaten

Combine all ingredients, form in a loaf.

Place in greased 9x3 loaf pan.

Cook at 350 degrees approx. 1 hour or use meat thermometer.

Place on platter, cover in meat loaf sauce.

Meat Loaf Sauce

3/4 cup catsup

1/4 cup brown sugar

2 TBS. chopped onion

2 TBS. bell pepper

In small saucepan, bring to a simmer till onion and bell pepper are tender.

***NOTE***

I like to put some sauce on the meatloaf 1/2 way thru baking, then a little more on the slices at serving or serve extra sauce on the side.

DH hated meatloaf....until this one, LOL!

@Luvsmyfam I take the easy way out and when seasoning the meat, add a jar of salsa...onions, green peppers are included w/o any fuss.
