Meat Loaf With Ketchup Topping

Meat Loaf With Ketchup Topping

Diana Rattray
This meat loaf is delicious with mashed potatoes and green beans or a tossed salad. It's an easy meat loaf to mix up, perfect for any day of the week.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 cup soft fine bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup ketchup (plus more for topping, if desired)
  • 2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard or Creole mustard
  • 1 medium sweet onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning, or similar seasoning blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried leaf oregano

Preparation:

Heat oven to 350°.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl; work together with hands until thoroughly blended. Pack into a meatloaf pan or a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan and bake for 1 hour.

If desired, spread about 1/2 cup of ketchup over the top of the loaf about 15 minutes before the meat loaf is done.
Serves 6.
