CAROL'S MEAT LOAF AND RED SAUCE 
2 1/2 lbs. ground round
1/2 c. unseasoned bread crumbs
1 beaten egg
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1/4 c. chopped sweet white onion
2 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/8 tsp. garlic salt
1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1 c. milk
8 oz. can tomato sauce (or 3/4 c. chili sauce diluted with a little water)

Put all ingredients except milk and tomato sauce (or chili sauce) in large mixing bowl. Squeeze meat mixture thoroughly with the hands to blend well. Add milk a little bit at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Line shallow baking pan with aluminum foil. Form meat into loaf in baking pan. Drizzle tomato sauce (or apply chili sauce as a glaze) over outer surface of the meat loaf.

Bake, uncovered in preheated 300 degree oven about 1 1/2 hours. Keep basting tomato sauce over loaf to keep it moist. (If chili sauce is used, basting is unnecessary.) Serves 8.
