My Mom's Meatloaf

Amber had asked me for my meatloaf recipe awhile back and I am just now getting around to posting it (oops!). I making it tonight for dinner and get my boys to eat it by calling it a giant meatball (it basically is!) which they think is hilarious.

Enjoy!

--------------

1 1/2 pounds ground round
2-3" piece of green pepper, chopped finely
1/2 medium onion, chopped finely
20 or so saltine crackers crumbled finely (about 1/2 package)
8 oz can tomato sauce (USE ONLY 1/2 OF THE CAN, reserve the rest)
1/4-1/3 cup ketchup
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp salt
pepper to taste

Mix together all ingredients. Form into glass pan (larger than the loaf...I usually use a 9x13). Pour reserved tomato sauce from can onto top of formed loaf. bake at 350 for at least an hour.
