A hearty and flavorful meatloaf recipe that's perfect for family dinners.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, diced bell pepper, tomato sauce, egg, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs. Mix until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture into a loaf pan and shape it evenly.
Press the mixture gently to avoid air pockets.
Bake the meatloaf in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Check the internal temperature to ensure it reaches 160°F (71°C).
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, dry mustard, and brown sugar.
Adjust the sweetness of the glaze to your preference.
Spread the glaze over the top of the meatloaf and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Let the glaze caramelize slightly for added flavor.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meatloaf moist.
