Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lb ground beef
1/2 small green bell pepper, diced fine
1/2 small carrot, diced fine
1 pkg "lipton" dry onion soup mix
1 c seasoned bread crumbs
3 slice white bread, chopped finely in food processor
2 eggs
1 tsp worchestershire sauce, optional
set aside a small amount of water to moisten mixture

Steps:

1. Combine and thoroughly mix all ingredients in a large bowl, by hand, except water. Add water a tablespoon at a time just to soften mixture.
2. Form into a loaf. Spray Pam or Olive Oil in loaf pan to help prevent sticking and fill pan with the meatloaf.
3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour covered with aluminum foil to prevent top from becoming too crispy. After 1 hour, remove aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.
4. Serves 4-6. Variation: Mix meatloaf as above, but cut an opening down the middle lengthwise and add your favorite cheese (I use American). Seal opening and cook.
