My partner is hooked on this! As soon as we finished the first helping, he wanted seconds.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped onion, green bell pepper, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and 1/2 cup of ketchup.
3. Mix everything together thoroughly with your hands until well blended.
4. Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a greased loaf pan or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Spread a thin layer of ketchup on top of the meatloaf for a delicious glaze.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the meatloaf is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
7. Allow the meatloaf to rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
