Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 0.5 lb Italian sausage
- 0.75 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 12 Pepperoni slices
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, egg, pizza sauce, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Divide the meat mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing it down lightly to form small meatloaf cups.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and carefully spoon a little more pizza sauce on top of each meatloaf cup.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each cup and place 1 pepperoni slice on top of the cheese.
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the Pizza Meatloaf Cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing them.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish if desired, and serve warm.
