My husband does not like meatloaf very much at all. My youngest daughter, however, loves it. So being the good daddy that he is, he never complains when I make it.
Even though he doesn’t complain, it still bothers me. I want him to want to eat it! We have been married going on 12 years, & I have been on a quest to come up with one he would actually request for dinner.
After numerous tries over many years, I finally did it! I created a meatloaf he craves.
Ladies & gentlemen – I present Pizza Spiraled Meatloaf!
Combine the first 8 ingredients, & 3/4 cup of the pizza sauce in a large bowl. On a large piece of parchment paper, or silicone liner
Lay out the ham across it, followed by 1.5 cups of mozzarella cheese – leaving a 1 inch margin on the edge.
Roll the meatloaf up from the small end, pulling away the parchment paper or silicone liner as you roll – much like you would a jelly roll cake.
Press the sides together with your fingers to seal it well, along with the seam along the top. Place in a 9×13 baking dish, seam side down.
Brush the remaining pizza sauce on the top.
Bake in an oven preheated to 350 degrees, uncovered, for about 75 minutes.
Remove, & sprinkle an additional 0.5 cup to 1 cup of cheese on top, depending on how cheesy you like it. I like lots of cheese!
Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven & let it cool about 10 minutes before slicing.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds ground chuck
- 1 pound Italian Sausage
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 4-6 cloves of minced garlic
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup pizza sauce
