1

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This will ensure the meatloaf cooks evenly.

2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the black beans (drained and rinsed), ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, ketchup, and the egg. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3

Chop the bell pepper and add it to the mixture along with the cumin, salt, black pepper, and parsley.

4

Shape the mixture into a loaf form and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased loaf pan.

5

Spread a little additional ketchup on top of the meatloaf for extra flavor.

6

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 to 60 minutes, or until the meatloaf reaches an internal temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius).

7

Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time helps the juices redistribute throughout the meatloaf.

• For a moister meatloaf, don’t overmix the ingredients.
