Ingredients

  • 2 12 lbs ground beef
  • 12 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 12 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 12 package lawrey meatloaf seasoning mix (see note below)
  • 12 green pepper, finely chopped
  • water, for coating
  • 12 cup ketchup
  • 13 cup water
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Spray a baking dish large enough to hold the meatloaf plus a little additional space, using non-stick spray.
  • Mix the meat mixture ingredients well; mold into a loaf shape in the baking dish, making sure you leave space between the loaf and the sides of the pan to permit draining of excess oil.
  • With a pastry brush or your hands, moisten the top and side sof the meatloaf with cold water to prevent crumbling.
  • Bake uncovered for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Drain off the liquid from the meatloaf, and slice in the pan, leaving the slices standing vertically.
  • Mix the sauce ingredients well, then pour over the slices of meatloaf, making sure you get some between each slice, and all over the top.
  • Bake for an additional 30 minutes, uncovered.
  • NOTE: If you can't find Lawry's meatloaf seasoning you can use another commercial brand, or your own homemade.
  • However, note that Lawry's does seem to have some flour-based filler to it also, So if what you are using does not, and it is just spices and herbs, I would suggest adding 3 or 4 tablespoons of very fine bread crumbs to the uncooked meat mixture.
