Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat olive oil in pan, toss in onions and peppers with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook, just a bit more. Then scrape it all into a large bowl. Crumble in the ground beef and sausage and mix everything together with your hands.

Take the bread over to the faucet and wet it down, then squeeze it out like a sponge. Chop it up nice and fine and throw it in with the other ingredients. Pour in 3/4 C of the Mama sauce, sprinkle on the chili powder, cumin, cayenne, 1 tbl salt and 2 tsp. pepper. Mix it all up with your hands. Add the eggs and mix one more time.

Press the mixture into a loaf pan. Slather on the remaining 1/3 Cup Mama sauce. Pop it into the oven and bake for 1-1/2 hrs.
Take it out and let it set for 20 minutes. Pour off the fat.
Slice into thick, comforting slabs.
