This "pie" has no crust but, rather, a lining of fire-roasted red peppers. Easy to put together and full of comfort-food flavors. You can substitute other ground meats for the beef. Racheal Ray magazine

Wow, wow, wow. Great picture, great sounding recipe. Yummers. 5 here.


Sounds great! Thanks for sharing.


Looks wonderful!


Thanks, I think this is a great post!


Looks great...and an interesting change from the ordinary meatloaf.


Great recipe! I love to try different recipes for meatloaf. Thanks so much, Kathye!


Hi!! When I made this again last night I realized that the jar of peppers can vary in weight (originally was 16 oz) because the one I used was 24 oz. You need enough peppers to cover the bottom of the pan so I adjusted the weight in the recipe. "Trial and error...." Kathye :)


Sounds great, something the whole family would love...you have my 5.
