"My husband, Wayne, asks for this meat loaf all the time," reports Edna Lauderdale of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "We like it spicy, so we use hot sausage rather than mild. Slices are terrific drizzled with ketchup, served with mashed potatoes and gravy, or in meat loaf sandwiches the next day."

I got this recipe from "Leftovers Makeovers" This Meat Loaf is Meal number one, then you can use the leftovers to make Recipe #237966 the next night or Recipe #237930 the next if you have enough left over. Here at my DD's I might get enough left over to make one or the other but never both. The kids love this meatloaf, and it is one I appreciate since there is no tomato in it so I can enjoy it without suffering later.

MEATLOAF-FILLED GREEN BELL PEPPERS



Meatloaf-Filled Green Bell Peppers image

Categories     Beef     Pork     Bake     Dinner     Bell Pepper     Gourmet

Yield Serves 6 as an entrée

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 green bell peppers (about 1/2 pound each)
1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/4 pounds lean ground chuck
1/2 pound ground pork
1/4 cup chopped scallion greens
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

Steps:

  • In a kettle of boiling salted water blanch the bell peppers, covered partially, for 3 minutes and transfer them to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop the cooking. Cut 3/4 inch from the stem end of each bell pepper, reserving the bottoms, and chop fine the flesh from around the stems, discarding the stems. In a bowl let the bread crumbs soak in the cream for 8 minutes, or until the cream is absorbed. In a skillet cook the onion in the butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is softened and let it cool. Stir the onion mixture into the bread crumb mixture, stir in the chuck, the pork, the scallion greens, the parsley, the salt, the cloves, and black pepper to taste, and divide the mixture among the bell peppers. Arrange the bell peppers in a shallow 15 1/2- by 10 1/2-baking pan, add 2 cups water to the pan, and bake the peppers in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 1 hour, or until the meat is no longer pink.

Tips for a Scrumptious Green Pepper Meatloaf

  • Choose high-quality ground beef: Opt for lean ground beef with at least 80% meat content for a flavorful and juicy meatloaf.
  • Prep your green peppers: Cut the green peppers in half lengthwise, remove the seeds and ribs, and chop them into small pieces. This ensures even distribution and a delightful crunch in every bite.
  • Enhance flavors with seasonings: Don't shy away from using a variety of seasonings. The combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and chili powder creates a harmonious blend of flavors.
  • Incorporate moisture: To prevent dryness, add moisture to the meat mixture. Eggs, bread crumbs, and milk are commonly used ingredients that help bind the ingredients together and keep the meatloaf moist.
  • Don't overmix: Mixing the ingredients too much can result in a tough meatloaf. Gently combine everything until just incorporated to maintain a tender texture.
  • Shape and bake: Press the meat mixture firmly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top. Bake according to the recipe's instructions until the internal temperature reaches a safe 160°F.
  • Let it rest: Allow the meatloaf to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This helps the juices redistribute, resulting in a cleaner and more flavorful cut.

Conclusion: Savor the Green Pepper Delight

Indulge in the hearty and flavorful experience that is green pepper meatloaf. With its combination of savory ground beef, crisp green peppers, and aromatic seasonings, this dish is a true crowd-pleaser. Remember to follow the tips and techniques mentioned above to achieve a perfectly cooked meatloaf that is moist, tender, and bursting with flavor.
