  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and minced
  • 1/2 medium red peppers (optional) or 1/2 medium green pepper, cored, seeded and minced (optional)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1 cup milk (the broth and water will make a softer, moister loaf than the milk which coagulates as the meatloaf) or 1 cup water (the broth and water will make a softer, moister loaf than the milk which coagulates as the meatloaf)
  • 1/4 1/4 cup tomato paste or 1/4 cup tomato sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

    Cook for 15 minutes, then mix with remaining ingredients, using your hands.
  4. 4
    Pack into a well-greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan and bake uncovered for 1 1/2 hours or until the loaf is nicely browned and pulls slightly from the sides of the pan. Cool the loaf upright in its pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes, then turn out and serve.

    You can wait less than 30 minutes for it to cook, but it has a tendency to fall apart.

    Still tastes good though!
