Savory Meatloaf with Zesty Pepper and Onion Relish

1.Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, ketchup, chopped onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, eggs, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, oregano, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and parsley. Mix until well combined.

3.Transfer the meat mixture into a loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf. Spread 1/2 cup of ketchup evenly over the top of the meatloaf.

4.Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (70°C).

5.While the meatloaf is baking, prepare the zesty pepper and onion relish. In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.

6.Cook the relish over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the mixture is slightly thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

7.Once the meatloaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

8.Serve the meatloaf slices topped with the zesty pepper and onion relish.
