Mini Pizza Meatloaves - Family Faves Meal Solution #3

Oh my!  Oh so delicious!  We did modify the sauce as we didn't care for the crushed tomatoes.  Used regular tomato sauce instead.  Discovered that from earlier recipes.  I used ground turkey instead of ground beef.  Oh, I also used stuffing mix in place of the bread crumbs.  You can do your own substitutions as well to meet your family's tastebuds.

Ingredients:


2 lbs 93% extra-lean ground beef
1 c mini turkey pepperoni slices

1/2 c plain panko bread crumbs
1 large egg, beaten
2 tsp Garlic Garlic Seasoning
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1-2 Tbsp + 1 tsp Mama Mia Marinara Sauce Mix, divided
1 15 oz can crushed tomatoes

Instructions:

1.  In large bowl, combine first 5 ingredients, 1 cup cheese and 1 teaspoon Mama Mia Marinara Sauce Mix; salt and pepper as desired.  In small bowl, combine crushed tomatoes and remaining 1-2 tablespoons Mama Mia Marinara Sauce Mix.


2.  Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Divide meatloaf mixture among 1 (12 count) greased muffin pan; place pan on a baking sheet.  Top with sauce.

3.  Bake 20 minutes.  Remove from oven; top with remaining 1 cup cheese.  Continue baking 5-10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer and cheese is melted.

Makes 6 servings.  Serve with Hasselback Tots.

Make Ahead & Freeze:   Prepare step 1.  Place meatloaf mixture in a gallon freezer bag.  Place sauce mixture in a quart freezer bag and 1 cup cheese in a quart freezer bag.  Place all bags in a gallon freezer bag.  Seal well, label and freeze.  Thaw completely.  Continue with step 2.
