Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees (350 degrees if using a convection oven). In a medium frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the red peppr and onion and cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

Place the vegetables in a large mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and mix thoroughly. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Form the meat mixture into a loaf on the parchment paper. Place the strips of bacon over the loaf in a criss-cross pattern.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from oven and allow the meatloaf to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
