Green Pepper Meat Loaf

By: Edna Lauderdale

"'My husband, Wayne, asks for this meat loaf all the time,' reports Edna Lauderdale of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 'We like it spicy, so we use hot sausage rather than mild. Slices are terrific drizzled with ketchup, served with mashed potatoes and gravy, or in meat loaf sandwiches the next day.'"

1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 envelope onion soup mix
2 pounds ground beef
1 pound bulk pork sausage

In a large bowl, combine eggs, green peppers, onion, celery leaves, parsley and soup mix. Crumble beef and sausage over the mixture and mix well. Shape into a 12-in. x 4-in. loaf.
