These delicious Meatloaf Stuffed Peppers are the perfect favorite dinner recipe mashup! If your family loves stuffed peppers and meatloaf, they'll go crazy for this dinner idea!

Almost four years ago, I posted my recipe for Cheesy Stuffed Pepper Casserole and clearly you all have loved it just as much as my family did - and still does. That recipe post still gets a lot of traffic every single day! If you haven't tried that one, it's essentially un-stuffed peppers in a casserole dish with the usually filling ingredients. You really need to put that one on your menu plan ASAP!
A few months before that, I had posted the recipe Chicken & Cornbread Stuffed Peppers for you as well - that is SO GOOD, too! Definitely a fun twist on traditional stuffed pepers. The addition of the cornbread mix, too makes that one over the top!
I'm back again with my favorite stuffed peppers, this time with no rice and a purely meatloaf mix filling for the peppers. I have fond memories of my mom's meatloaf growing up. She made this sweet brown sugar tomato sauce that was just amazing. And clearly you can see how much I love stuffed peppers! This recipe mixes the two and hits it out of the park for a fun and different family dinner and is just really simple to put together.

If you're on a low carb diet, feel free to replace the Panko bread crumbs with a low carb or healthy carb alternative. I like using ground up old fashioned oats - I just grind them to a fine powder using my Ninja blender (affiliate link). Or you could let your favorite low carb pita bread harden on the counter and crumble that for bread crumbs - my favorite brand is Joseph's Pita Bread (affiliate link) - they make great bread crumbs. Either way, these peppers are going to be an impressive dinner for your family!
