When we have meatloaf at my house, I slather it with A1 sauce. A1 sauce is one of my favorite condiments in the whole world.
No one paid me or sent me any free stuff or in any other way contacted me to talk about A1 sauce. Just saying.
Anyway, I was very hesitant to try a meatloaf that did not play well with A1 sauce.
When I saw the recipe for Pizza Meatloaf in the Unilever Consumer Kitchens Twitter stream, I had to click over to the article. The photo in the Pizza Meatloaf recipe looked really good, and it was covered with cheese, so I suggested to Joe that we give it a try. It was really, really good, even if it didn't have A1 sauce in it - or smeared all over the top.
Recipe
Pizza Meatloaf
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 pounds ground beef
- 1 pounds ground turkey or ground pork
- 1-½ cups Italian bread crumbs
- 1 small onion minced
- 3 cloves garlic
- 16 oz mushrooms sliced
- 4 ounces sliced black olives drained
- 6 ounces pepperoni cut in quarters, plus more for serving
- 1 tablespoon Pizza seasoning or Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cups pizza sauce divided, plus more for serving
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded, divided in half, plus more for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat them. Then add all the other ingredients except for ⅓ cup of pizza sauce (that is reserved for putting on top of the meatloaf).
- Using your hands, combine all the ingredients together until the egg, spices, vegetables and breadcrumbs are well blended with the meat. If the mixture feels dry, add ¼ cup of water and mix that in.
- Transfer the meat mixture to a loaf pan or form it into a loaf on a baking sheet. Pour the reserved pizza sauce over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for one hour, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 155ºF.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve with a drizzle of additional warmed pizza sauce and a sprinkle of quartered pepperoni and shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of each slice.
