Italian Meat Loaf

Italian Meat Loaf is a flavorful twist on the ordinary American dish. Some people consider meatloaf a boring dish, but with the addition of some Italian ingredients, this meat loaf will be a hit.

Ingredients: 1 pound lean ground beef ? pound hot Italian sausage 1 - 8 ounce can Italian flavored tomato sauce ( Hunt?s and Contadina are good brands) 1 cup Italian flavored bread crumbs 1 egg 1 small onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced ? cup bell pepper (red or green) finely chopped Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, beat the egg lightly then add the ground beef. Remove sausage from casings and add to the bowl and mix to combine the meats and egg.

Pour in half the can of tomato sauce, onions, garlic and bell peppers and mix in. Add the bread crumbs and mix until well blended.

Press your meat mixture into a greased 9x5 loaf pan. Bake for one hour. Pour the other half of the sauce over the top and bake for about 10 minutes more until the meat is brown completely through to the center.

Remove from oven and let stand for 10 ? 15 minutes until cutting.
