Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
Finely dice the green bell pepper and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, diced green pepper, onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, 1/2 cup ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix thoroughly until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to form an even layer.
