Pizza Meat Loaf Cups
Fix and freeze these moist little meat loaves packed with pizza flavor. They're great to reheat for an after-school snack or quick dinner on soccer night. My family likes to drizzle extra pizza sauce on top. —Susan Wollin, Marshall, Wisconsin

Reviews
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed these meat loaf cups! I'm always looking for new ways to use my homemade pizza sauce and this recipe worked perfectly. I used a pound of ground chuck instead of 1 1/2 pounds, so I reduced the ingredients slightly and made 8 meat loaf cups. A new favorite and something I'll be making often!
These were very moist and definitely a friendly flavor for kids. However, I would add more seasoning to them next time, or incorporate a bit of sausage in the mixture, as another reviewer suggests. I can see how these would be good to make in batches and freeze for quick dinners for busy families.
These were very tasty, little treats. Changes I made were using my Sauce, (since I had it on the stove), adding a little garlic powder and crushed red pepper flake, and topping with a little Parmesan. Delicious. I suggest putting on a sheet pan under muffin tin, to catch overflow.
Pretty good! Cooked pretty fast and was very moist. I added garlic for a little more flavor. Tastes like a cross between a meatball and pizza. I might try adding a little more meat next time, though.
I'm going to definitely make these for my grand kids. I know they will love them made just as the recipe is written. For me though, I could have used a little more flavor. I think a 1/4 pound of Italian sausage and some oregano would do the trick.
Can't wait to try
I used 1lb ground beef and a half pound Italian sausage. It was really good. Kids and hubby liked them. Easy!
I've made this recipe several times already. Super quick, easy and most importantly tasty. Love this recipe, I make it exactly as recipe says. Perfect every time.
The first time I made these I used turkey sausage and added some turkey pepperoni. Loved them, they were very saucy but perfect with a breadsticks on the side to soak of the sauce. The next time I used 1/2 ground venison, 1/2 turkey sausage....didn't like as well. Also added some onion & green pepper chopped. They did freeze well so that was a nice bonus!
I thought these were really good, my whole family enjoyed them and thought they tasted good. I doubled the recipe and put the leftovers in the freezer. I will definitely make these again!
