Stove Top Meat Loaf in Tomato Gravy

IMG_37251 lb. hamburger
1 med. chopped onion
1 cup (more or less) crushed cracker crumbs, or bread crumbs
1/4 cup Bell pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup catsup
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix all the above. If too dry to stick together, add a little milk. Divide meat mixture. Pat into two small loaves. Carefully roll or sprinkle flour on all sides. In a deep fry pan, lightly brown loaves, one at a time in about 1 inch hot oil. Using a large spatula, carefully remove from the pan onto a platter. Brown about 3 heaping tablespoons flour in the pan drippings. Now stir in a pint of stewed tomatoes, add water as needed to make a smooth gravy, and season with salt and pepper. Gently place the meat loaves into the tomato gravy, cover pan and cook on a low heat for about 30 to 45 minutes. Serve with creamed potatoes or cooked rice. This will be one of the most moist meat loaves you’ve ever put into your mouth.
