• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 bell pepper, diced
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup fresh breadcrumb
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce (Bullseye Guinness BBQ, yum!!)

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. 2

   Saute onion, bell pepper and garlic in a little oil over medium heat until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.

3. 3

   Put all ingredients except milk in a large bowl.

4. 4

   Stir to combine with one hand while you add milk with the other* until all ingredients are uniformly mixed. Do not squish the ingredients together, this may make the meatloaf tough and dense.

   Form into a loaf placed in baking dish. Stir together topping ingredients and brush on meatloaf.

6. 6

   Bake 1 hours and 15 minute at 350 degrees.

   *not sure if this is totally necessary, it's just what I did and I liked my texture, if it is too difficult just add all ingredients at once.
