Bell Pepper Meat LoavesPT60Mhttps://img5.recipesrun.com/201907/2019/0808/22/2/593177/300x200x90.jpg How fun are these Bell Pepper Mini Meatloaf!? I’ve always been a big fan of bell pepper stuffed meals but more often than not, WHOLE bell pepper is just too much. Right? I end up eating about half of it and then waste the rest. This recipe is my attempt to avoid that. The meatloaf itself is a simple turkey meatloaf with a few extra veggies in there and the glaze is a minor adaption from my favorite meatless meatloaf from Ambitious Kitchen. We ate this all by itself (yay for lazy dinners!). AND it stays well in the fridge for a few days making GREAT leftovers.6 servings

Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350℉ and line a medium baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut ends off peppers and finely chop (minus the stems), then set aside. Remove seeds and slice peppers into 2" thick rings; you should be able to get 2 rings out of each pepper. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine beef with chopped peppers, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, thyme, garlic, and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper and stir until combined. Fill each pepper ring with a meat loaf mixture.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup and brown sugar and brush on tops of meat loaves. Bake for 35 minutes, then top with cheese, and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, or until cheese is melty. Garnish with parsley and serve.
