MEAT LOAF-STUFFED PEPPERS
With my husband-who won't eat the same thing twice-I've had to learn to be creative with leftovers (around here, we call it "recycled food"). I put this recipe together to use up leftover meat loaf. When it's dressed up with homegrown peppers, he doesn't know he really is getting yesterday's main course! Actually, leftovers are both coming and going in this recipe-if I have any peppers left over, I use them to make my spaghetti sauce. Although we live close to Houston, there's a pasture near our house and we can hear the cows that graze there. We have two sons, 4 and 2.

RED PEPPER MEAT LOAF
This recipe is a nice substitute for the usual beef meat loaf. It's plenty moist and so flavorful with the sweet red pepper. Leftovers are great for sandwiches the next day.

MEATLOAF STUFFED PEPPERS
I have made this recipe several times now and I have adjusted it to what we like best. The combination of the Ancho Chili Jam and the stuffing mix (instead of rice) really makes for a yummy stuffed pepper. The original recipe is from Earth & Vine website where I buy my Red Bell Pepper & Ancho Chili Jam. It is the best jam and also great just served over a block of cream cheese served with crackers!

Steps:
- Wash and slice up your peppers that will be used. I sliced just a little of the pepper off the bottom of two so that they would sit flat on the pan.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together onion, garlic, ½ cup Red Bell Pepper & Ancho Chili Jam and egg.
- Add bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Add your 3 meat combination or whatever meats you want to use at this time. Mix well again.
- Stuff your peppers with the meatloaf and place them in a baking pan.
- COVER PEPPERS WITH TINFOIL ---- Bake for 50 - 60 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven and spoon the remaining Red Bell Pepper & Ancho Chili Jam to the top of peppers; place back in oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until meat loaves are done.
- Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. I sprinkle just a tad more cheese on top right before serving.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, rice or pasta.
- Sliced into the pepper so you could see how pretty it is.
- This is the jar of Red Pepper Ancho Chili Jam from Earth & Vine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13"X9" baking pan with Reynolds Aluminum Foil. Spray with non-stick cooking spray, or use Reynolds Wrap Non-Stick Aluminum Foil. Set aside.
- In an 8" non-stick skillet, cook 4 slices of the bacon until just crisp. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate and let drain and cool. In same pan with the bacon drippings, saute the red bell pepper, onion and parsley flakes for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, eggs, dry soup mix, water, golden mushroom soup, French fried onions and crumbled bacon. Mix well with hands and form into a "football" shape. Place in prepared baking pan. Make a deep well in center of meatloaf, being careful not to break through the bottom. Carefully layer the cheese strips along length of meatloaf. Spoon red pepper/onion mixture over top of cheese. Carefully work meatloaf up and over filling. (It's ok if filling is not covered completely) Use remaining uncooked sliced bacon to "wrap" meatloaf, covering all exposed meatloaf with bacon in a diagonal pattern.
- Bake for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meatloaf and bacon is thoroughly cooked.
- Remove from oven and let rest 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Peppers: Select large, firm bell peppers with vibrant colors for a visually appealing dish.
- Properly Prepare the Peppers: Cut the peppers in half lengthwise, removing the seeds and ribs to create a boat-like shape.
- Season the Meatloaf Mixture Well: Don't be shy with the seasonings for the meatloaf filling. Use a combination of herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to create a flavorful base.
- Use a Variety of Vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just a few vegetables in the meatloaf mixture. Experiment with different textures and flavors by adding vegetables like chopped carrots, celery, onions, or zucchini.
- Pack the Peppers Tightly: When filling the pepper halves with the meatloaf mixture, pack it tightly to ensure there are no air pockets, helping the meatloaf cook evenly.
- Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the stuffed peppers at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes or until the meatloaf is cooked through and the peppers are tender.
- Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Once baked, top the stuffed peppers with additional cheese, chopped fresh herbs, or a drizzle of your favorite sauce for an extra layer of flavor.

Meatloaf-stuffed red peppers are a delicious and visually appealing dish that combines the classic comfort of meatloaf with the vibrant flavors of roasted bell peppers. With its combination of juicy meatloaf, tender vegetables, and colorful peppers, this recipe is sure to be a hit at any meal.
