Pizza Meat Loaf

I saw a recipe for this in one of my Cooking Light cookbooks.  I’ve altered the recipe a little bit and these turned out FANTASTIC!  Very easy – and extremely delicious!

 

Ingredients:

 

1 lb. ground beef (I used 93% lean)

1 lb. ground turkey

4 oz. pepperoni, finely chopped

1 white onion, chopped

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

12 oz. jar red peppers

4 cloves garlic, minced

Salt

Pepper

1 cup pizza sauce

1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

2 eggs

Olive oil

 

Directions:

 

Heat a skillet; drizzle Olive Oil into it.  Add chopped onion and garlic and red pepper flakes.  Sauté until translucent. 

 

Drain the red peppers; place in bowl of food processor and process until finely chopped.  Add the cooked onion mixture and pulse to chop and combine.

 

In a bowl, add beef, turkey and pepperoni.  Add egg, bread crumbs, salt & pepper; mix to combine.  Add the onion/red pepper mixture – mix to combine.

 

Form into 8 – 10 individual meat loaves.  Cook at 350 for 30 minutes.  Remove from oven; spoon the pizza sauce onto each loaf, and spread.  Return to oven and cook for an additional 30 minutes.  Fantastico!
