Pizza Meatloaf
This was a HUGE hit! Everyone went nuts over this Pizza Meatloaf, even my 3 and 7-year-old grandchildren. My grandson just kept saying “I love this pizza!” This was put at the top of our list as one of our favorite meatloaves!
There is pizza sauce and Parmesan cheese inside the meatloaf with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese smothered all over the top! It was amazing and one of the best meatloaves I have ever made.

Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine ground beef and sausage.
In a small bowl combine half of the pizza sauce and the egg.
Stir in the onion. Add the bread crumbs, Italian seasonings,
garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt & pepper. Stir to combine.
Put the sauce mixture into the hamburger/sausage
mixture and mix well with your hands.
Spray a meatloaf pan with cooking spray.
Place the meatloaf mixture into the meatloaf pan, packing the meat tight.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 1 hour 10 minutes,
or an internal temperature of 160 degrees.
Remove from the oven and using a baster, suck the excess
grease from the meatloaf pan but leave the meatloaf intact.
Spread the other half of the pizza sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
Spread the Mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Put the meatloaf back into the oven until the sauce is
bubbling at the sides and the cheese is melted.
Let cool for about 5 minutes.
Slice the meatloaf inside the pan and remove each piece with a spatula.

Are you trying to make my mouth water?!? 🙂
Hahaha yes!
I will definitely have to try this one. Sounds yummy.

Hi there. How are you? Another great recipe to try eventually. Made Beef pot roast last night and my 14year old refused to eat it. Says she would rather have meatloaf. She ended up going to bed hungry as she needs to learn to eat what is served (I felt bad,because I didn’t want her hungry) Well I see this this morning (I chuckled) This would be a great meatloaf to serve as she would eat pizza morning, noon and supper if she had her way.
Hi! I’m doing great thanks for asking! My grandkids are the same way! They eat supper here 3 nights a week so I feel for you. I made this meatloaf when they were here for that same reason! It was a HUGE hit!
Sent this one to my relatives (so they can make it when I appear). I love meatloaf anyway, but THIS….
Hahaha now that was a great idea! That is a win-win….eat it and don’t have to make it!
Pizza is a staple in our house so this would definitely be a hit. I look forward to trying it 🙂
It was such a nice change from regular meatloaf!
