Ingredients

2 lbs ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs
1 onion finely chopped
1 bell pepper finely chopped
1 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, onion, bell pepper, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a loaf pan and shape into a loaf.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Remove from oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your meatloaf is cooked completely.
If you prefer a crispier top, you can brush some extra ketchup on top of the meatloaf 15 minutes before it's done.
