How to Prepare the Recipe: Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare Your Workspace
Gather all your ingredients and preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan. Proper prep helps the process go smoothly.
2. Sauté the Vegetables
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped yellow onion and green bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent—about 5-7 minutes. This step softens the veggies and releases their natural sweetness, enhancing the meatloaf’s flavor. Once done, remove from heat and let cool.
