Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings 1 cup soft bread crumbs ½ cup milk 1 ½ pounds ground beef 1 onion, chopped ½ cup diced green bell pepper 3 tablespoons steak sauce, (e.g. Heinz 57) 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 ¼ teaspoons salt ground black pepper to taste ¼ cup steak sauce, or more to taste Directions Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan. Combine bread crumbs and milk in a small bowl; set aside to soften. Mix ground beef, onion, bell pepper, steak sauce, egg, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl; add bread crumb mixture and mix with your hands until combined. Pat the mixture into the prepared loaf pan; brush the top with 1/4 cup steak sauce. Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Allow to stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Melissa Goff Recipe Tip Use about 2 slices of bread, torn into pieces, for the soft bread crumbs. I Made It Print 2,889 home cooks made it!
