Italian Style Meatloaf
What You Need
Preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Mix all ingredients together except second 1/4 cup of Tomato Sauce. Blend well. I like to use my hands for this part, it really incorporates well when you do it by hand. I also use food prep gloves for sanitation purposes. After blending together, it should hold together well enough that you are able to shape it.
3. In a large baking dish, drizzle some olive oil on the bottom. Place the sliced peppers on the bottom but keep a few slices for the top of the meatloaf.
4. Place your meat mixture on the top of the peppers in the pan. Gently shape the meat into a loaf blending the peppers into the bottom of the meat as you are shaping it.
5. Top the meatloaf with remaining tomato sauce and peppers. Bake at 400 degrees until the top is browned and the meat is cooked how you like it.
6. Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
