Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 F. Prepare a 9x5-inch loaf pan using cooking spray or baking paper.
- Sauté the green bell pepper and onion until opaque and soft. Only takes a few minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. (You can skip this step and add these ingredients raw to save time)
- Combine ground meat, bread crumbs, eggs, carrot, zucchini, salt, pepper, and bell pepper mixture in a large bowl; mix well using your hands. Transfer meatloaf mixture into prepared pan and pat down firmly.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, checking it’s cooked through with a knife or skewer (it should come out clean, no raw meat!). Use a thermometer if you have one, it should read at least 160 F.
- Spread ketchup mixture evenly on the top of the meatloaf and put back in the oven for 5 minutes, until the ketchup is bubbling.
