Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 1 green onion, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons minced green bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated carrot
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1-1/2 pounds ground chuck
• 3/4 pound ground pork
• 1 cup bread crumbs (such as Progresso)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup ketchup plus an additional
• 1/4 cup ketchup (for top)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F. Saute green onion, garlic, green pepper, and carrot in vegetable oil over medium heat for a couple minutes. Combine beaten eggs with milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl.

Mix bread crumbs and flour into ground chuck and ground pork with your hands. Add egg and milk mixture, sauteed veggies, 1/4 cup ketchup and mix it up using your hands. Press the mixture into a meat loaf pan (the kind of pan with drainage holes in the bottom) or a large loaf pan.

Bake for 30 minutes, then spread 1/4 cup of ketchup over the top of the meatloaf and bake for another hour. Remove from oven and allow it to sit for awhile before slicing and serving.
