Best Meat Loaf Ever

1 ½ heaping cups crumbled homemade bread crumbs

        (the key to greatness is the quality of the bread, if you don’t have good bread use 

        quick cooking oatmeal)

1 pound of ground beef

½ pound of buffalo

2 eggs

1 red, 1 yellow and 1 orange pepper

2 to 4 stalks celery

2 medium onion

Chop onions, celery and peppers to same size about a ¼ square, add them all to a big mixing bowl along with the eggs, meat and bread crumbs. Smush all of it together. Spray a casserole dish (not a loaf pan, it will never cook in the middle) with cooking spray and push the meat mixture into the pan to fill it.

Bake at 350 for up to 2 hours

It will make a nice crusty top, some people like a tomato mixture on the top that is added before baking and the classic topping was a frosting of ketchup in the 50s and 60s.

There are a million recipes for meatloaf that include everything from soy sauce to a cup of coffee, but this is a good basic recipe that you can embellish however you like.
