I married into an Italian family so I made up my own recipe for meatloaf that is moist and delicious and my husband's favorite.

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

• 2-1/2 pounds ground chuck (at least 85% lean)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 large peppers, chopped
• 2 tablespoons garlic
• 1 16-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon seasoned salt for meat
• 2 eggs
• dash milk
• salt and ground pepper to taste
• Progresso Italian bread crumbs
• 4 slices uncooked bacon
• 1 16-ounce can tomato sauce

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, combine meat, onions, and peppers. Add next 8 ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add enough bread crumbs so meat mixture holds together nicely.

Form into a loaf shape and place in a large baking pan. Put strips of bacon lengthwise over the top, then cover with tomato sauce. Bake uncovered for 1-1/2 hours. Serve with mashed potatoes and fresh green beans.
