You better make plenty of this tasty recipe, especially if you want to have meatloaf sandwiches out of the leftovers. A moist flavorful meatloaf and the Heinz 57 gives it just a little kick without being too spicy.

Ingredients

3 1/2 - 4lb Hamburger
1 cup Bread Crumbs (Fine Bread Crumbs - I use the kind in a can)
2 large Eggs
1 can Tomato Sauce (Small Can - About 4 oz))
1 medium Onion (Diced)
1/2 cup Bell Pepper (Diced - Optional)
1 teaspoon Minced Garlic (I use the )
1 tablespoon Mustard or Spicy Mustard
2/3 cups Milk
3/4 cups Heinz 57 (Or Generic Brand works well too - Be sure to reserve some for the top of the meatloaf)
1/2 cup Cheddar or Colby Jack (Shredded - Actually, I measure with a )

Note

Don't be afraid to experiment with a meatloaf recipe. A little dash of Chili Powder or a little more Heinz 57 can give it a boost or a little different taste.

Directions

Step 1
Gather Ingredients - Milk and Cheese are not pictured; I remembered them in Step 3
Step 2
Combine the Ingredients in a large bowl; mix well with wooden spoon or hands.
Step 3
Remember the Milk and Cheese (I forgot to assemble them in the first step)
Step 4
Add the milk and cheese to the other ingredients; mix well
Step 5
Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by spraying well with cooking spray to prevent sticking and easier clean up.
Step 6
Shape into 2 separate loafs in the prepared 9x13 baking dish- this helps speed cooking as opposed to making one big meatloaf Top with Heinz 57 (or equivalent)
Step 7
Bake at 350 degrees Set the timer for about one hour and check for doneness Total cook time will be about an hour to an hour and a half, depending on the size of the loaf(s) Pour off grease or remove to a serving plate
