Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion
celery
and pepper in hot oil until softened
about 5 minutes. Stir in ketchup to make a sauce. Remove from heat.
Combine 1/2 of the sauce with ground beef
bread crumbs
egg
salt
and pepper in a large bowl; mix gently. Pat mixture into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer reads 160 degrees F (70 degrees C)
about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let rest.
Meanwhile
reheat remaining sauce over medium heat. Slice meatloaf and serve with warm sauce.
Twists:
Twist 1: For a cheesy treat
top meatloaf with 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Cheddar cheese.
Twist 2: For cook-once-eat-twice convenience
serve sliced warm meatloaf on toasted Kaiser rolls with chili sauce.
Twist 3: For more fiber
substitute whole wheat bread crumbs or crushed bran flakes for the regular breadcrumbs.
Twist 4: For a Mexican twist
use Heinz Chili Sauce instead of ketchup and stir 1 tablespoon chili powder into the sauce mixture.
Twist 5: For extra kick
substitute Heinz Hot & Spicy Ketchup for 1/2 of the regular ketchup.
Twist 6: For a barbecue twist
substitute Heinz Western Grill BBQ Sauce or other barbecue sauce for the ketchup.
