Meatloaf Recipe

When I wrote this post back in July, I got several requests for my meatloaf recipe.  Well, here it is!!  I tried many meatloaf recipes over the years, but this is the one I plan to stick with.  The original recipe came from this website, but I modified it a bit to fit my family's tastes.

Meatloaf

1 lb. ground turkey
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 cup oatmeal (quick oats) or 1/2 bread crumbs
1/2 cup ketchup
1 small onion chopped
1/2 green pepper, finely chopped
1 egg

Sauce:
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients (except sauce items).  On a cookie sheet or broiler pan, form it into a loaf.  (I do not like to use a loaf pan because any grease from the meat collects in the bottom and makes the loaf mushy.)  Combine the sauce ingredients and spread it across the top.  Bake it at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.  When the meatloaf is finished, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
