Roasted Red Pepper Meatloaf
"Recipe found on the Tasty Kitchen (Pioneer Woman Cooks) website. This is a really unique presentation and method to make meatloaf. The meatloaf mix is baked inside the peppers.
The author of the recipe says that it's OK to omit the bread slices under the individual meatloaf/pepper rounds but says that the bread "gets so fantastically toasty and crunchy and becomes the PERFECT way to enjoy this meatloaf.""

I'm a 35 single mom of one wonderful 16 year old son who happens to be the world's pickiest eater. I'm a human resource director for a non-profit private special education school. Cooking is my #1 hobby. Ironically, I became interested in all things cullinary after I had gastric bypass surgery 7 years ago. Losing that much weight & as quickly as I did really changed my relationship with food. (I lost 128 lbs - 258 lbs before, 130 lbs now)
