Welcome to the Brooklyn Brothers cooking channel.

Chef Dom introduces the Italian meatloaf recipe.

Combine ground pork and ground beef in a bowl.

Add parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, and eggs to the bowl.

Sauté green peppers, onions, and red peppers ahead of time and let them cool before adding to the mixture.

Add sundried tomatoes to the mixture for flavor.

Mix all ingredients by hand until combined, avoiding overmixing.

Shape the mixture into a loaf and place it in a baking dish.

Prepare a fresh tomato sauce by dicing Roma tomatoes and adding sautéed onions and garlic.

Add fresh basil to the sauce mixture.

Cook the sauce for about 20 minutes.

Add a half can of tomato crush to the sauce and mix well.

Pour some of the sauce over the meatloaf, reserving some for later.

Put the meatloaf in the oven and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes after adding sauce.

Top the meatloaf with aged provolone cheese before finishing baking.

Remove excess grease from the baking dish before letting the meatloaf rest for 10 minutes.

Slice the meatloaf and serve with remaining sauce.
