In a large bowl, combine ground beef with eggs,
onion, green pepper, salt, pepper, ketchup,
steak sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. With
both hands, knead the meat mixture until
everything is thoroughly blended together.
With the saltine cracker still in their
sleeves, pound crackers until they are finely
crumbled. Pour over the meat mixture and mix
in. Form meatloaf into a large oval or divide
into 6 smaller ovals. Place meatloaf in a
large roasting pan. Place the ends of bread at
each end of the meatloaf. (This is to help
absorb some of the grease/fat from the
meatloaf.) Surround meat with peeled whole
potatoes and carrots. Add 1 cup of water to
the pan. Pour ketchup over meat and vegetables
as desired. Sprinkle with salt and pepper as
desired. Cover baking pan and bake for 0
minutes in a 375 degree oven. If you form
small loaves, reduce baking time to 60 minutes.
Remove bread slices from meat and discard
before serving.
