Italian style meatloaf

• 1 lb Italian sausage
• 2 lb ground beef, lower fat is better
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 each bell peppers
• 1 each fresh basil, about a handful
• 6 clove garlic
• 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup parmesan cheese
• 4 grinds black pepper
• 3 large eggs
• 3/4 cup Bread crumbs or rolled oats
• 3 cup tomato sauce

1. Preheat oven to 350F
2. Put all your meat into a large bowl
3. chop your onion, I happen to use green onions this time because that's what I had this time, but usually I use regular yellow onion
4. Chiffonade (cut in strips across the width) your fresh basil
5. Dice your garlic cloves
6. Dice your bell peppers, I had baby ones so I used more since they were small.
7. Break your eggs into a small bowl and scramble them.
8. Add to meat bowl.
9. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the meat bowl
10. Mix well, I just use my hands.
11. Form a loaf, this is on a 9 X 12 roasting pan.
12. If you desire, about 10-15 minutes before finished, spread the tomato sauce on top to allow it to cook in.
13. I am not a big fan of doing this, so I don't.
14. Cook for 60-70 minutes, an internal temp of 160F.
15. Let rest about 5-10 minutes before cutting.
16. This time I served with corn, Pablo pepper rice.
