Italian style meatloaf step by step
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Put all your meat into a large bowl.
- 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.
- Chiffonade (cut in strips across the width) your fresh basil.
- Dice your garlic cloves.
- Dice your bell peppers, I had baby ones so I used more since they were small..
- Break your eggs into a small bowl and scramble them. Add to meat bowl..
- Add all the rest of the ingredients to the meat bowl.
- Mix well, I just use my hands..
- Form a loaf, this is on a 9 X 12 roasting pan..
- If you desire, about 10-15 minutes before finished, spread the tomato sauce on top to allow it to cook in. I am not a big fan of doing this, so I don't..
- Cook for 60-70 minutes, an internal temp of 160°F..
- Let rest about 5-10 minutes before cutting..
- This time I served with corn, Pablo pepper rice..
Then, scatter the shredded mozzarella and most of the basil leaves. In a small bowl, toss cubed bread with milk. In a large mixing bowl, or the base of a stand mixer, combine fresh bread cubes soaked in milk, finely ground or micrograted onion, garlic Italian seasoning and salt. In the meantime, soften the slices of white bread in the milk. If you like, you can even use stale bread.
