Best Ever Meatloaf

2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
3 slices bread broken up
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 cup onion chopped
1/3 cup green bell pepper chopped
1 1/2 lbs lean ground meat

Topping:
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp mustard

Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add milk and bread chunks. Let stand until bread absorbs the liquid. Stir in onion, bell pepper, cheese, salt and pepper. Add ground meat and mix well. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350* for 45 min.

Combine topping and spoon over meatloaf after 30 minutes. Occasionally spoon over meatloaf during the rest of the baking time.

Serving suggestion: make twice baked potatoes and steam carrots as delicious sides.
