1 lb. ground beef<\/p>\n
1\/2 lb. ground mild Italian sausage<\/p>\n
1 small onion, finely chopped<\/p>\n
1\/2 C. chopped bell pepper<\/p>\n
1 tsp. olive oil<\/p>\n
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n
1 clove garlic, minced<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp. oregano<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp. basil<\/p>\n
1\/2 tsp. parsley<\/p>\n
1 egg, beaten<\/p>\n
3\/4 C. Italian bread crumbs<\/p>\n
2 slices white bread, crumbled<\/p>\n
1 T. milk<\/p>\n
8 oz. shredded mozzarella cheese, reserve 3\/4 C. for topping<\/p>\n
1\/4 C. parmesan cheese<\/p>\n
1 C. marinara sauce, plus 1\/2 -3\/4 C. more for topping<\/p>\n
Instructions<\/p>\n
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over med. high heat and saut\u00e9 the onion and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes, remove from heat.<\/p>\n
In a large bowl, add the meats, onion and peppers along with all remaining ingredients reserving 3\/4 C. mozzarella cheese for topping.<\/p>\n
Now, dive in there with the best tools God gave you, your hands and combine everything really good. Once it has all come together, place and mold the mixture in a baking dish of your choice. I used my oval Portuguese stoneware for ours.<\/p>\n
Spoon 1\/2 to 3\/4 C. of the marinara sauce on top and spread around. Place in a 400 degree oven for 50 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle a little dry basil over the top.<\/p>\n
Return to the oven for 10 more minutes. Make sure the meat is not pink before serving, baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your loaf<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
