Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers

A couple weeks ago, I was texting my wife about dinner plans. I had some ground beef defrosting. Below is the text conversation:

I had never heard of that so I went to pinterest, searched for "meatloaf stuffed peppers", and found this recipe.

Basic Recipe:

Make meatloaf, fill bell pepper with raw meatloaf mixture, bake, and enjoy.

Full recipe here.

Here are my thoughts:

The bell pepper definitely enhances the taste of the meat loaf. I skipped the salsa in the pan from the original recipe. I think this meatloaf recipe will become my go-to. I like the flavor and the texture of it better than the one I used to make. I even made it the next day for the company we were expecting.

 

If I were to make this again, what would I do differently?

• I would like to get a rack to cook the meatloaf on so the fat can drain. 
• I would like to add some jalapenos to the meatloaf to give it a little kick.
• I would like to make the pepper rings shorter and try eating in as a hamburger (on a bun)

 

Have you ever tried combining two recipes ideas together?

How did it turn out?

Do you have any ideas of recipes to combine?
