This great-tasting meat loaf from Connie Staal of Greenbrier, Arkansas, is sure to be a family favorite. It's moist, tender and chock-full of green pepper, onion and zesty tomato flavor! Why not make two? Tuck one in the oven for supper, the other in the freezer for another night.

Even Grandma likes this one! Used yellow bell pepper instead of green, and light swiss cheese instead of cheddar and no cheese on topping. Nice spicy flavor and lots of veggies. Plus, no eggs! Yeah! Try it!

my family and I thought this was delicious--low fat, low calorie, and so tasty. I used "American" chili powder and the heat was fairly mild; as a matter of fact, this wasn't really spicy at all. I also used all ground beef because that's what I had--93% lean--and I used Italian bread crumbs. It was enjoyed by all and a nice change from standard meatloaf!

I used all ground turkey and regular chili powder at suggested amounts and it turned out fine.

Reduce chili pepper to a quarter of the amount called for, unless you are using the "sweeter" American types... otherwise, you'll be on fire!!! Panko bread crumbs make the consistency awesome.
