Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment or aluminum foil.

Mix the topping ingredients in a small bowl; set aside.

In a large bowl, beat the eggs then add the cracker crumbs, onion, green pepper, milk, salt, pepper and cheese; stir to combine.

Add the ground beef and mix well. Turn out the meatloaf mixture onto the prepared pan; shape into a loaf.

Bake for 30 minutes then spread topping on top of the meatloaf. Bake for an additional 30 minutes or until the center is 160 ℉.

Let stand for 5-10 minutes to rest, then slice and serve.
