Pizza Meatloaf

It's like a personal pan pizza.
Only it's meat.
And there is no dough.
K never mind.

Seriously though, it's super yummy. Golden melted cheese, bits of pepperoni, tomato, garlic and oregano... what's not to love.


Shelly's Pepperoni Pizza Mini Meatloaf

1 Yellow Onion, diced
3 Green Onions, diced
3 cloves Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Oregano
1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1/4 cup Italian Style Dry Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Milk
1 1/4 pounds Ground Turkey, the average weight of 1 package
1/4 cup Storebought Bruschetta Sauce (fresh pasta section)
1 Egg, beaten
1/4 cup Pepperoni, chopped
1/2 cup Mozzarella Cheese, chunks (I used 3 cheesesticks)
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
a few twists of Black Pepper
Olive Oil for sauteing

Saute onions till golden. Add garlic & seasonings and cook 1 minute more. Set aside to cool. Soak breadcrumbs (you can eliminate but it works out to 1 1/2 tsp per loaf) in milk for 1 minute. Add cooled veggies, soaked crumbs and all remaining ingredients to turkey. Mix till combined.

Divide into 8 equal mounds. Form into mini meatloaves or if you have this super groovy pan like me use it (spray with a little Pam first.)

Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 oven. These freeze well either cooked or uncooked. Leftovers are great with an egg for breakfast or crumbled into soup.

For dinner last night I served them with a green salad and my Roasted Garlic Yogurt Dip. I like to dip meats. It keeps everything headed in the right direction if you know what I mean ;) Warm marinara sauce would be a great dipper too.

I love these mini meatloaves. Not only are they are the perfect size for us weight loss surgery peeps (great portion control) they are just so flippin' cute. Very kid friendly.
