Use almost 3 pounds of ground round for a large meatloaf, but you can use any ground meat.

For filler, use about 3/4 to 1 cup of crackers, or substitute with bread crumbs or oatmeal.

Chop about 1/2 cup of onion and 1/2 cup of bell pepper, adjusting size based on texture preference.

Add 1 large egg per pound of meat, adjusting for smaller eggs if necessary.

For flavor, add about 1/4 cup of ketchup and 1 cup of honey barbecue sauce, mixing half into the meatloaf and reserving the rest for topping.

Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of onion powder, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper.

Beat the egg and mix in the sauces and seasonings before adding to the meat.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, mixing well to ensure even distribution.
