2 pounds ground beef
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced green bell pepper
3 eggs
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon Heinz 57 steak sauce
2 teaspoons brown sugar
Meatloaf Sauce – see below
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, onion, green pepper, eggs, bread crumbs, ketchup, Heinz 57 sauce and brown sugar. With clean hands, mix until thoroughly combined. Place mixture on a large baking dish and mold into a large mounded loaf. Cover loaf with foil and bake 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, until no pink remains in the center of the loaf - cut a small sample if you’re not sure. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Top with meatloaf sauce to serve.
