1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ cup onion, finely chopped
½ cup celery, finely chopped
¼ cup green pepper, finely chopped
1 cup Katchkie Ketchup
1 ½ pounds lean ground beef
1 cup soft fresh breadcrumbs
1 large egg, slightly beaten
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion, celery, and pepper until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in Katchkie Ketchup. Remove pan from heat and divide sauce mixture in half.
Combine one half of the sauce with ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently.
Pat mixture into a lightly greased meatloaf pan. Bake for 1 hour or until an instant-read thermometer reaches 165° F.
Rest meatloaf for 5 minutes. Reheat the reserved sauce mixture. Slice meatloaf and serve with sauce.
