Meatloaf

1 pound ground beef

1 pound ground pork

1 small chopped onion

1 chopped bell pepper

1 tsp smoked Tabasco

1 egg

1 cup of Ritz cracker crumbs (if you are worried about carbs you can leave these out)

Seasoning packet (I prefer McCormick)

*Add any extra seasoning you like. I’m a Montreal Steak seasoning & Jonny’s kind of girl. Some red pepper flakes gives it heat.

Mix all together in a big bowl. It’s time to get your hands dirty because it’s the only way to really mix meatloaf together perfectly. Shape it into a loaf and top w ketchup. I don’t use a loaf pan because I like the entire loaf covered in caramelized ketchup.  Yum!! Bake at 375 about 40-50 minutes.

*Slow Carb - add 1/2 Cup of rinsed Black Beans or Refried. Refried make a little less dense loaf.

*Keto - add 1/2 Cup of chunked cheese of

your choice.

Enjoy!!!
