Mouthwateringly Tangy Pineapple Meatloaf

Ingredients

• Meatloaf:
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 cup bread crumbs
• 1/2 cup chopped green and red bell pepper
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup pineapple preserves
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Sauce:
• 1/3 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup pineapple preserves
• 1/4 cup brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Mix ground beef, bread crumbs, bell peppers, onion, egg, 1/3 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup pineapple preserves, 1/4 cup brown sugar, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce in a food processor until combined; put into a bread pan.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Stir 1/3 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup pineapple preserves, and 1/4 cup brown sugar together in a bowl; pour over the meatloaf.

Continue baking until no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
