Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Crush Rice Crispies in a large bowl.
• Add ground meat -- it helps to take it out of the fridge an hour or so in advance so the cold doesn't hurt your hands.
• Add remaining ingredients and combine (I use my hands but you can use a fork if you're squeamish.).
• Shape into any size loaves you like and place on a cookie sheet lined with foil.
• Combine ingredients for glaze. Brush half glaze onto meatloaf and put cookie sheet into the oven. Bake 25-60 minutes depending on size of meatloaves. They'll probably leak some liquid/fat -- when this starts to happen they're close to done.
• About 15 minutes before end of cooking, brush on remaining glaze.

• When the peppers and onions are cool, combine all of the remaining ingredients together except for the marinara. Pack the meat mixture into an oiled loaf pan, if you do not have a loaf pan, form the meat mixture into a loaf shape on an oiled oven tray or baking dish. Top with the marinara making sure to spread evenly over the top.
• Bake for approximately 50 to 60 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F in the middle of the meatloaf. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice and serve.

• Top with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.

• Press into large size muffin tin that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
• If adding a sauce, form a well in the top of each muffin.
• Check baking time carefully, as the smaller size allows the dish to bake more quickly. I have found that baking time is reduced to about 35 minutes in this form.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line the long sides and base of a 2lb loaf tin with double thickness baking parchment. Mix 2 tbsp each of the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a small bowl and set aside. Tip all the remaining ingredients into a large bowl with a good shake of salt and pepper and mix well - hands are the best for this job.
• Press the mixture into the loaf tin and sprinkle with the reserved crumb mix. Bake for 40-45 mins until the top is golden and crunchy. If the top does not colour in the oven, pop the tin under the grill and brown the top for 5 mins. Cool in the tin for 5 mins, then lift out using the parchment and put on a board. Slice and serve with potatoes and green beans.
