Preparation
Step 1
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat and saute the onion and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes then remove from heat.
In a large bowl, add the meats, onion and peppers along with all remaining ingredients, reserving 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese and 1/2 cup marinara sauce for topping. Mix with your hands and combine everything really good. Once it has come together, place and mold the mixture in a baking dish of your choice. Spoon 1/2 - 3/4 cup 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 mozzarella cheese and sprinkle a little dry basil over the top. Return to the oven for 10 more minutes.
