How to Make A Really Tasty Meatloaf

1. **Tomato Relish:** Finely chop 1 cup of tomatoes, ½ cup of bell peppers (any color), 2 cloves of garlic, and ½ cup of onion.
2. **Sauté:** Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped vegetables and sauté until the onions soften, about 5-7 minutes.
3. **Simmer:** Stir in ½ cup of ketchup. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. **Meatloaf Prep:** In a large bowl, gently combine 1 ½ lbs ground beef, ½ lb ground pork, 2 large eggs, 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 cup of the cooled tomato relish.
5. **Shape and Bake:** Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the meatloaf mixture. Pack tightly into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Place the loaf pan on a baking sheet to catch drips.
6. **Oven Time:** Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 40-60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reads 170°F (77°C).
7. **Broil & Garnish:** Spread the remaining tomato relish over the top of the meatloaf. Broil on high for 2-3 minutes, or until the relish begins to brown and crust.
8. **Rest & Serve:** Let the meatloaf rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
