Delicious Meatloaf with Red Sauce

Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the 3 lbs ground beef, 3/4 cups diced bell pepper and onion, 3/4 cups Italian breadcrumbs, 3 whisked eggs, 3 tablespoons milk, 12 oz tomato sauce, 2 large garlic cloves, and 2 packages McCormick meatloaf seasoning. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated. Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it in a baking dish. Bake the meatloaf at 375°F for one hour.

While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the topping. In a separate bowl, combine 12 oz tomato sauce, 6 oz tomato paste, and 2 tablespoons ketchup. Season with onion powder and pepper to taste.

After the meatloaf has baked for one hour, remove it from the oven. Spread the prepared topping evenly over the meatloaf. Place the meatloaf back in the oven and continue baking for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F.
