Meatloaf Twist

• 1 lb ground round (may substitute with hamburger, ground chuck, ground sirloin)
• barbecue sauce (a bottle)
• 1 large onion
• 1 large green pepper
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 egg (may use 2 egg whites instead of whole egg)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet French onion soup mix

1. Start out with a large mixing bowl.
2. Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
3. Chop 1/2 onion and place in mixing bowl.
4. Chop 1/2 green pepper and place in mixing bowl.
5. Add ground round, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, French Onion Soup mix, egg into the mixing bowl.
6. Mix well.
7. Add 1/2 bottle of barbecue sauce to the mixture and mix well.
8. Form the mixture into a square or loaf. (I usually form it to the pan I am using).
9. Slice the remaining onion and green peppers and arrange on top of loaf.
10. Pour 1/4 of the remaining barbecue sauce on the top of the loaf. (I usually make a letter "M" with the sauce--it makes it look pretty).
11. Place in oven.
12. Take it out of oven in 1/2 hour and pour the remainder of the barbecue sauce on top.
13. Let cook for another 1/2 hour.
14. Check for doneness.
15. I like mine well done.
16. Adjust cooking time to your liking.
17. Serve immediately.
18. Great with mashed potatoes and green beans.
