MEATLOAF brought to you by Miranda Lamberts mama

We like my meatloaf but this a new version we are enjoying:

Makes 10 Servings

2 lbs Lean ground beef        1 lb Ground Pork Sausage
18 Crackers, I used Ritz        1/2 green bell pepper, diced
1/2 onion, finely chopped      2 Large Eggs, lightly beaten
1 T Worcestershire sauce      1 t Yellow mustard
1/2 C Firmly packed brown sugar, divided
1/2 C Ketchup


1. Preheat oven to 350* Combine first 8 ingredients and 1/4 C brown sugar in a bowl just until blended. Place mixture in a lightly greased 11x7 baking dish and shape into a 10x5 loaf (I DIDN'T DO THIS, I just used TWO BREAD PANS)
2. Bake at 3508 for 1 hour.  Remover from over and drain.  Stir together ketchup and remaining 1/4 C brown sugar. Pour over meat loaf. Bake 15 min or until a meat thermometer inserted into thickest portion registers 160* Remove from over and let stand 20 minutes. Remove from dish before slicing.
