Sausage And Bell Pepper Meatloaf Recipes

MEATLOAF WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Chop sausage finely. In a large bowl combine beef, sausage, egg beat, bell pepper, onion, cereal, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt and pepper. Mix together and press into a loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until cooked through. Drain grease from loaf pan periodically during baking. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

ONION- AND PEPPER-STUFFED MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Cut 3/4 each of onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper into thin slices. Dice remaining 1/4 of onion and peppers.
• Mix ground beef, diced onion and peppers, tomato sauce, crushed crackers, brown sugar, egg, Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, olive oil, steak seasoning, garlic, and pepper together in a bowl until well-combined.
• Spread 1/2 of the beef mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top meat with sliced onion and peppers, leaving a 1-inch border. Spread remaining beef mixture over vegetables, tucking in sides to seal vegetables in the center of the meatloaf. Pour ketchup over the top of the meatloaf.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

CLASSIC MEATLOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the carrot, celery, onion, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and garlic in a food processor, and pulse until very finely chopped, almost to a puree. Place the minced vegetables into a large mixing bowl, and mix in ground chuck, Worcestershire sauce, and egg. Add Italian herbs, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix gently with a wooden spoon to incorporate vegetables and egg into the meat. Pour in bread crumbs. With your hand, gently mix in the crumbs with your fingertips just until combined, about 1 minute.
• Form the meatloaf into a ball. Pour olive oil into a baking dish and place the ball of meat into the dish. Shape the ball into a loaf, about 4 inches high by 6 inches across.
• Bake in the preheated oven just until the meatloaf is hot, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, ketchup, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved.
• Remove the meatloaf from the oven. With the back of a spoon, smooth the glaze onto the top of the meatloaf, then pull a little bit of glaze down the sides of the meatloaf with the back of the spoon.
• Return meatloaf to oven, and bake until the loaf is no longer pink inside and the glaze has baked onto the loaf, 30 to 40 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the loaf should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Cooking time will depend on shape and thickness of the meatloaf.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Brown the sausage in a large skillet.
• Add onions and saute for ~2 min.
• Add peppers and garlic and saute 1 min.
• Add the tomatoes with their water, fill the can with water and add that too.
• Add Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste.
• Simmer uncovered until the sausage is cooked through (I usually cut them into thirds to speed cooking time and ease serving).

GREEN PEPPER MEAT LOAF

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the eggs, green peppers, onion, celery leaves, parsley and soup mix. Crumble beef and sausage over the mixture and mix well. Shape into a 12x4-in. loaf. , Place on a rack in a shallow baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 1 hour. Place bacon strips over top if desired. Bake 45-60 minutes longer or until no pink remains and a thermometer reads 160°.

SAUSAGE AND BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan.
• Brown the sausage in the oil until you get a nice color on the outside and you no longer see any"pink".
• Remove the sausage and drain on a paper towel.
• Keep the heat going on the pan and add onions and peppers (do not add any additional oil).
• Cook the onions and peppers approximately 5 minutes or until onions start to become translucent.
• During this time, slice the sausage down the middle, do not cut all the way through, just enough so you can open the sausage and"fan" them out.
• Add salt and pepper over the onion/pepper mixture and turn heat down to simmer.
• Place sausage on top of onions and peppers and cover.
• Simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until sausage is cooked through.
• Serve on Italian Bread.
