Mini Pizza Meatloaves
Description
The meatloaf mixture includes lean ground turkey blended with finely chopped onion, Italian bread crumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, and dried basil and oregano, seasoned with salt and pepper. The mixture is divided into muffin cups for individual servings. A tomato sauce with similar herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper is spooned over each meatloaf before baking.
After baking at 375°F until fully cooked, the meatloaves receive a topping of shredded mozzarella and additional Parmesan cheeses and mini pepperonis. Switching the oven to broil melts and bubbles the cheese rapidly with careful attention to avoid burning. This method creates small, flavorful meatloaves that combine the comfort of traditional meatloaf with familiar pizza toppings.
These mini meatloaves can serve as an appetizer or main dish and suit gatherings or family dinners. They provide a convenient, portioned way to enjoy meatloaf flavors with added tomato and cheese topping reminiscent of pizza.
Ingredients
Meatloaves:
- 16 oz. ground turkey 93% lean
- 1/2 cup onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2 teaspoon basil dried
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Sauce:
- 8 oz. tomato sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon basil dried
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- black pepper to taste
Topping:
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- mini pepperonis
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray the cups of a regular sized muffin pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Combine all of the meatloaf ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix well with your hands. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups.
- Combine all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Evenly spread over the top of each meatloaf, about 1 tablespoon each.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until meat is fully cooked. Remove from the oven and evenly top each meatloaf with the parmesan and mozzarella, then sprinkle with mini pepperonis, about 4 per meatloaf. Switch the oven to broil and return the pan to the oven for 2-4 more minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly (keep an eye on them so they don't burn!). Enjoy!
