Not your grandma's meatloaf! I asked my husband to make a meatloaf for dinner using my Tex Mex recipe basics. I came home to the best meatloaf I ever tasted! He took my recipe and added extra ingredients to get an incredible flavor. We ate for dinner and had pan-fried meatloaf sandwiches the next day. Awesome!

Mix ground beef, onion, bell pepper, and garlic together in a large bowl; add bread crumbs, egg, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper and mix.

Stir mustard and Worcestershire sauce together in a small bowl; add to meat mixture and mix. Shape the meat mixture into an 8x4-inch loaf and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread olive oil over the top and sides of the loaf.

Mark's Surprise Meatloaf Haiku: "What is the 'surprise'? Is it the cayenne pepper? Or beef measurement?" Checked and re-read, and yup, it says "1 1/2 cups ground beef", and I could only assume that meant pounds, but I ended up using 1 lb. anyways, along w/ the rest of the ingredients decreased to 6 servings. Not sure what the surprise was; surprise! It's a little too salty, or surprise! There's a little kick from the cayenne pepper, or surprise! I've never brushed olive oil on top of a meatloaf b4. But well, we were surprised at how good it ended up tasting, but not thrilled that even after letting it sit, it didn't slice into nice pieces pfffflooof more of a crumble-loaf, but a tasty one.

I used red bell pepper rather than green (personal preference), and I did cut back on the pepper, salt, and cayenne to a level that I thought my granddaughters could handle. Otherwise, I followed the recipe. If you read the first review, you'll see that AR fixed a typo in their ingredients!

This was simple and delicious - a nice change from all the ketchup covered meatloaves.
