Ingredients

1/2 cup chili sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
2 cups Rice Krispies
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 small green or sweet red pepper, finely chopped
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °. In a small bowl, mix chili sauce and ketchup. In a large bowl, combine Rice Krispies, onion, green pepper, cheese, egg, salt and pepper; stir in half of the chili sauce mixture. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly.
Transfer beef mixture to an ungreased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Make a shallow indentation down center of loaf. Spread remaining chili sauce mixture over loaf, being sure to fill indentation.
Bake 60-70 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160 °; use a turkey baster to remove drippings every 20 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
