Sausage, Pepper and Onion Meatloaf

I have been on a major sausage, pepper and onion kick the last few weeks.  It started with my Sausage, Pepper and Onion Pasta and now it's morphed into this meatloaf.  We ate this for dinner with mashed potatoes and broccoli and then the next day in spectacular meatloaf sandwiches that tasted like a sausage and pepper sandwich.  I am glad I get to finally use up my poultry seasoning (that I only use around Thanksgiving time) and fennel seeds. My version of "sausage" is really a combination of lean chicken and pork. It's tastes like the hot Italian sausage I used to buy in links, but with no grease.  I am really enjoying getting the flavor of hot Italian sausage, but custom made for my taste and lean so I can feel less guilty eating a nice thick slice.

 Ingredients:
2 onions sliced
2-3 bell peppers or sweet peppers sliced
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
Salt and black pepper

1lb ground chicken
1lb ground pork
