How To Make Pizza Meatloaf
Once you have all of the ingredients in your bowl, mix it up and put in your pan. Your kitchen will smell amazing!
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350 F degree oven. Prepare an 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray or olive oil and set aside. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Saltine cracker crumbs, chopped onion, slightly beaten eggs, salt, oregano, milk and Parmesan cheese until fully combined. You may use a spoon for this task, but I have found using your hands works especially well. It's messy, but effective!

Step 2: Layer the meatloaf mixture in the prepared 8x8 inch baking pan and put in the preheated oven. NOTE: when took pictures, I cut the recipe in half and why the thickness of the meatloaf looks different than when using 2 pounds of ground beef.
Step 3: After 40 minutes, remove the Pizza Meatloaf and add the pizza sauce and Mozzarella cheese and return to the oven for another 15 minutes or until reaching an internal temperature of 160°F.
How to Store Pizza Meatloaf
Store the leftover meatloaf in the pan topped with aluminum foil or in an airtight container for up to 3 days in your refrigerator. Pizza Meatloaf reheats very well in the microwave the next day!
