Beef and Italian Sausage Meatloaf

Lightly oil a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Heat the oven to 375 F.

Combine the beef, sausage, egg, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl.

Chop the tomatoes or pulse in a food processor with their juice.

Put half of the tomatoes into the meat mixture, along with chopped onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Add the basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and cheese. Mix well until blended.

Pack the meat mixture into the loaf pan.

Bake for 1 hour.

Top with remaining diced tomatoes and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes longer.

Let rest for a few minutes; transfer to a platter and slice.
