Ingredients

  1. 2 lbBeef
  2. 1 mediumGreen Bell Pepper-chopped
  3. 1/2 mediumOnion-chopped
  4. 1Egg
  5. 14Saltine Crackers (or unsalted)-crumbled
  6. 1Salt & Pepper
  7. 38oz cans of Tomato Sauce
  8. 1 can15oz of Hunts Seasoned Tomato Sauce for MEATLOAF
  9. 1/2 cupInstant Rice

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Take ingredients 1-5, 1can of 8oz tomato sauce, and sprinkle in some salt and pepper into a large bowl. Wash hands and mix well.

  3. 3

    Place into a 13x9 pan and the meat mixture into an oval/oblong shape. Now make a dent in the middle of the meatloaf.

  4. 4

    Now add instant rice in the middle, spread evenly. Approximately a 1/2 cup, could be less or more. Use your judgement...I didn't measure it, sorry.

  5. 5

    Now fold side meat over to cover up the rice and smooth out. Place foil over pan and place into oven for 1 hour.

  6. 6

    While meatloaf is in oven place 2cans of 8oz tomato sauce and 15oz can of meatloaf sauce into a medium saucepan. Place on stove over medium heat stirring occasionally.

  7. 7

    When the hour is up take meat out of oven. Open up one corner of foil *caution: be careful the heat is hot and will burn your fingers* With one corner lifted I drain out the grease. Don't let your meatloaf fall out ;)

  8. 8

    Remove foil completely and pour tomato sauce across the top of meatloaf. Place back in oven, maybe 15 mins. I usually take it out when the sauce starts bubbling. Then its ready to serve.
