I made this a few nights ago. It was a huge hit. My six year old son who only eats hot dogs or chicken nuggets asked for seconds and keeps asking when I am going to make it again.

I decided to go a different route, since I didn't have any pizza sauce. I substituted ketchup and a little mustard for the sauce, and American cheese and made little mini cheeseburger meatloaves. Fabulous!! :)
