Husband Pleasing Meatloaf - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs ground beef (I use 80/20 but you can use leaner beef if preferred)
1 cup tomato sauce
2 eggs
1 (2 ounce) packet lipton soup mix
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup onion, dices
1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 saltine crackers, crushed
1/2 cup ketchup

Preparation

Heat a 10 inch skillet with the olive oil and saute the onions and bell peppers until softened.
Allow the mixture to cool while you assemble the rest of the ingredients.
In a large bowl add the meat, tomato sauce, seasonings, eggs and crackers.
Mix the ingredients together using a large fork so you don't over compact the meat.
Next mix in the cooled vegetables.
Form the meat into a loaf shape on a shallow rimmed backing sheet.
Top with the ketchup.
Bake in a 350 degree oven 1 hour.
