Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 cup bread crumbs (soft, finely ground)
  • 1 large egg (beaten)
  • 3/4 cup ketchup (divided)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped sweet onion
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt blend
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350 F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef with the bread crumbs, beaten egg, 1/2 cup of ketchup, mustard, onion and peppers, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix until thoroughly blended.
  3. Pack the beef mixture into a meatloaf pan or a 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan.
