Ingredients
  

  • 2 # ground beef or ground chuck
  • 3/4 C ketchup plus an extra 1/2 cup
  • 1/4 C bread crumbs
  • 1 small onion diced small
  • 1/2 C red pepper diced small
  • 1/4 C grated parmesan
  • 1/2 T dried basil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350*. Liberally grease/spray a loaf pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients, except the extra 1/2C of ketchup. Mix only until all ingredients are incorporated. Do not overmix, or the meatloaf will be dense and tough. Press into the loaf pan and spread the extra 1/2C of ketchup over top. Bake 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven when done, and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
