Italian Meatloaf

1 lb lean ground beef
1 pkg. ground italian sausage
2 eggs
1 cup italian bread crumbs
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. dried basil
1 can italian diced tomatoes
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
shredded mozzerella cheese
your favorite spaghetti sauce or marinara sauce

In a large bowl, add all ingredients except for spaghetti/marinara sauce and mozzerella cheese, mix well until blended evenly. Shape into a loaf and bake on 350 for 30 minutes. Remove from pan and add sauce to the top of the meatloaf. Put back in oven and continue baking for another 30 minutes. (I like to cook my meatloaf on a broil pan so the fat juices can drip down away from the meatloaf.) Remove from oven and top with some shredded mozzerella cheese and let sit for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with a salad, mashed potatoes and garlic bread.
