Pizza Meatloaf

  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef 1/2 lb ground italian sausage (I actually used reduced fat regular sausage)
  • 8 oz pizza sauce, divided
  • 1 cup saltine cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 C grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 C shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

    Directions:

    In a large bowl, mix the eggs, pepper, salt, saltine crackers, 3/4 cup pizza sauce, parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese and oregano. Add beef and sausage and mix well. Place in large loaf pan. Bake 350 for 50 minutes. Spread remaining pizza sauce over loaf and bake 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes more.

    This serves my family twice or makes 2 meatloafs

    Freezing Directions:

    Divide meat mixture among indicated foil loaf pans. Place pizza sauce and cheese in separate freezer bags and place on top of meat mixture in loaf pan. Wrap in a double layer of aluminum foil. Freeze. TO SERVE: Thaw. Remove foil and sauce/cheese packets. Bake 350 degrees for 50 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over loaf and bake 10 minutes more. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes more.
