Redneck Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (I usually use home-canned)
    2 lbs ground beef (the best quality on sale is what I use!)
    1/2 - 3/4 cup onion (if you like it, use more)
    1/4 - 1/2 cup green pepper, chopped VERY FINE
    1 cup saltine crumbs
    1/3 cup A.1. Original Sauce, plus
    3 tablespoons A.1. Original Sauce (I use the Walmart knock-off, for the sauce, but I never measure, just glug it in)
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/2 teaspoon ground black peppercorns
    1 dash salt, if desired
Preparation
    Slip your hands into plastic sandwich bags. This will make clean-up sooo much easier!
    In a large bowl, combine the meat, crumbled and mushed up well, the chopped onion, green pepper, saltine crumbs, 1/3 cup steak sauce, eggs, pepper, salt, and half the can of tomato sauce.
    Mush this all together (this is where I take out my aggressions). Place in a loaf pan lined with the new release foil. This stuff will save you more time on clean-up. While meatloaf bakes, stir together remaining tomato sauce and steak sauce.
    Another tip: If you would rather, pat these out into mini-loaves. If you use a 9x13 pan, you could probably get 4-5 loaves, depending on how big you make them. Kids love their own meatloaf on their plate.
    Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45-50 minutes (if making one loaf, less is mini-loaves). Pour off the grease. Coat top with sauce. Bake 10 more minutes.
    Let stand a few minutes to cool down.
