Don't Let Your Meat Loaf

3 medium shallots, chopped fine
1 red bell pepper, chopped fine

1 tbsp peanut oil

3 cloves roasted garlic
1 egg
9 oz crushed tomatoes

2 oz chopped pimentos

1.5 lbs ground sirloin
1 lbs ground pork

1 piece of sour dough bread or bobillo roll, crumbled

1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Worstershire Sauce
Salt
Pepper

Sauté shallots and bell pepper in peanut oil just to soften, 1-2 minutes. Set aside and cool to room temp. 

In a food processor with a single pulse, combine roasted garlic, egg, tomatoes and pimentos . 

In a large bowl, using forks, combine shallots & bell pepper mix, tomato mix, sirloin, pork, bread and parsley, worstershire sauce, salt and pepper. 

Do not mix too hard and destroy the meat. Be gentle. Mix just enough to incorporate all the ingredients. If you mix too much, the loaf will get dense.

Form into a loaf shape and put in a large cast iron skillet. Cook on 375 for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until internal temperature of 165. Remove from skillet a foil lined cookie sheet and tent with more foil. Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve.
