½ teaspoon ground black pepper

⅛ teaspoon crushed red pepper

2 eggs, beaten

¾ cup fresh bread crumbs

¼ cup diced onion

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with aluminum foil.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ketchup, tomato juice, salt, pepper, red pepper, eggs, bread crumbs, onion, and mustard for meatloaf until well mixed. Press meat mixture into the prepared pan.
