Notes
- Use a food chopper or finely mince bell pepper and onion to achieve smaller pieces and a more uniform texture.
- Rinse and pat dry onion if you prefer a milder flavor; sweet onion can also be used.
- Mix meat with your hands gently, adding a little oil on hands to keep the meatloaf tender and prevent overmixing.
- Use a spatula to loosen any meatloaf that sticks to the muffin pan for intact servings.
