My friend made this for me one evening, but she used ketchup instead of tomato sauce. I was impressed with how little work it was, how good it tasted and how moist it was. Soaking the bread crumbs in milk will help it be even more moist.

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs ground chuck
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1 med onion, chopped
  • 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 slices white bread, crumbled
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Directions

In a large bowl, combine beef, egg, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, onion, bell pepper, crumbled bread, salt and pepper. Pack lightly into a 6 cup ring mold or 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan.Cover with paper towel. Cook on HIGH 10 to 12 minutes, just until loaf begins to pull away from edges. Turn dish if loaf appears to be cooking unevenly. Pour off any juices. Spoon remaining tomato sauce over meat loaf. Cook, uncovered, on HIGH 2 minutes.


Makes 4 to 6 servings.
