• Make sure to dice the bell peppers and onions finely to ensure even distribution throughout the meatloaf.
• Letting the meatloaf rest before slicing allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a moister meatloaf.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover meatloaf can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, slice the meatloaf and place it in a baking dish. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
