A delightful twist on the classic meatloaf recipe, perfect for a comforting family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced onion, chopped bell pepper, egg, diced tomatoes, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and shape it into a loaf.
Use a spatula to smooth the surface for even cooking.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, brown sugar, and mustard. Spread this mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Ensure the topping covers the entire surface for a flavorful glaze.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
Let the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute for a moist meatloaf.
