This pizza meatloaf recipe takes everyone's favorite food (pizza) and combines it with this homestyle classic — and how could that be bad?! Start with your meatloaf mixture — but pizza-fied! There's ground beef (or turkey, if you prefer), then mix in some pizza sauce, bread crumbs, egg, bell pepper, onion, garlic, and oregano. Next, make the glaze: swap the classic ketchup for more pizza sauce, mixed with brown sugar and Worcestershire sauce. Pop that in the oven to bake while you prepare your pizza toppings. When the meatloaf has pre-baked for 20 minutes, remove from oven and top. We chose peppers, pepperoni, and olives, but feel free to go wild with your favorite toppings. Just don't forget to add plenty of cheese! Pop it back in the oven and 15 more minutes you've got a super comforting dinner you'll want to make again and again.
