MEATLOAF STUFFED PEPPERS

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl combine ground beef, 1/2 cup of the tomatoes and juice, chopped onion, egg, seasonings, and worcestershire sauce together. Start mixing in bread crumbs. I didn't measure this one, but if I had to guestimate, I'd say I used between 1-2 cups. Start small, and start mixing in until themeat mixture pulls together well.
- 3. Core the peppers by cutting through the top of each pepper and removing the seeds and core. Slice each pepper into 3 rings, make sure they're fairly thick (tall) slices.
- 4. Heat a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a deep OVEN PROOF skillet over medium-high heat. While oil is heating, start packing the meat mixture into your pepper rings. To do this, take a handful of meat mix, and tightly shape it around a single cube of cheddar, making sure to seal it in very well so the cheese doesn't leak out. Once the cheese is sealed in each meat "bundle", pack the bundles into your peppers TIGHTLY. You almost want to overpack them, as the ground beef will cook down a bit, and start pulling away from the peppers in the skillet.
- 5. Carefully place the pepper patties into the skillet, turn your heat down to medium and cook approximately 5 minutes on each side. Once done, pour your remaining tomatoes and basil WITH juice over top of the pepper loaves and let it cook down for another 2-3 minutes with the grease. This is going to make an absolutely awesome sauce.
- 6. Turn off your burner and carefully place the entire skillet into the oven for 20-25 minutes, just enough to cook down the sauce a little more, and heat everything through.
- 7. Serve topped/garnished with the tomato basil sauce from the pan. Enjoy!!!
Tips:
- Use a flavorful ground meat mixture. This is the heart of the meatloaf, so make sure it's packed with flavor. You can use a combination of ground beef, pork, and veal, or use all of one type of meat. Just be sure to season it well with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder.
- Don't overmix the meatloaf mixture. Overmixing will make the meatloaf tough. Just mix it until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Stuff the peppers loosely. You want the meatloaf to have room to expand while it cooks. If you pack it in too tightly, it will be dense and dry.
- Bake the meatloaf-stuffed peppers at a moderate temperature. This will help prevent the meatloaf from drying out. Cook the peppers until the internal temperature reaches 160°F.
- Let the meatloaf-stuffed peppers rest before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf and make it easier to slice.
