When you say comfort food, I say Meatloaf! My recipe is easy to make, flavorful, and perfectly juicy every time. Say goodbye to dry, flavorless meatloaf and hello to a new family tradition.

=== 🍽🍸🥩 RECIPE ===
2 pounds (907g) ground meat (beef, lamb, pork, veal, combos, or prepackaged meatloaf mix)
1 – 15 ounce (411g) can of diced fire-roasted tomatoes, drained
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper (any color), diced
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup (48g) seasoned bread crumbs (add more if needed, no more than 1/4 cup (24g)
2 eggs, beaten
Salt & pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Cooking spray
BBQ Sauce or Ketchup for the glaze

Spray sheet pan with cooking spray.

In a sauté pan, combine olive oil, onion, bell pepper, salt & pepper. Cook on medium heat until vegetables are softened. Set aside to cool.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Add up to 1/4 cup (24g) of additional breadcrumbs if the mixture is too wet.

Put the mixture on a sheet pan that has been liberally sprayed with cooking spray, and form into a loaf shape. You could add a glaze to the top – ketchup, BBQ sauce, etc. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30-45 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from oven, tent loosely with foil, and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving. When serving, slice into thick slices.
