Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers are so good . A little mini meatloaf wrapped in a bell pepper, cooked in a skillet and cheese melted on top. This just might be a perfect weeknight meal .
Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers
Meatloaf is definitely probably one of my favorite meals . To me it is the ultimate comfort food . Although, this is not traditional meat loaf, it is similar to stuffed peppers. It differs from traditional stuffed peppers as it does not have rice and it is not a whole bell pepper. This meal is a great week night meal that can be thrown together in 30 or 40 minutes .

Unfortunately I'm not lucky enough to have my own garden. However, I do have a very generous neighbor that does have a garden and he often shares his fresh vegetables with me. In a time that the world is so crazy its the little things that are so appreciated . The last time he gave me bell peppers is when I made the Easy Stuffed Pepper Soup which I absolutely loved. I did have to pick up peppers at the market for this current recipe but they were still delicious.
