Pizza Meatloaf

Here’s one for my meat loving friends!

Yes, you’re reading and seeing this right…it’s meatloaf. With a pizza topping.

And it’s just amazing.

Polished, we polished our plates when we had this one!

The boys loved this. They decided that it had a bit of a spaghetti taste (I think this would be the pizza sauce with the beef combo.) And they thought it was great that it had pizza on top!

A new kid favorite from our table to yours…

Also, this is easy to make gluten-free by subbing in gluten-free breadcrumbs!

Here’s the recipe for you…
