To make the Bell Pepper Mini Meatloaf, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line a medium baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
Cut the tops and ends off the peppers and finally chop them. Slice the peppers into 2 thick rings and remove the seeds. Place the rings on the prepared baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef and chopped peppers, ¼ cup breadcrumbs, 1 lightly beaten egg, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, ½ finely chopped onion, ½ teaspoon chopped thyme leaves, 1 clove minced garlic, 1 tablespoon tomato paste, and kosher salt and black pepper to taste and stir until well combined.
Divide the meatloaf mixture between the pepper rings. Whisk together ¼ cup ketchup and 1 tablespoon brown sugar and brush on the tops.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and top each meatloaf with grated cheese and bake for 5-10 minutes more or until the cheese is gooey.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving and enjoy!
