Everyone loves pizza and pretty much everyone loves meatloaf, so why not combine them into one with Pizza Meatloaf?! This easy-to-make recipe adds basil, thyme, and other flavors of pizza to a delicious meatloaf base for a delicious meal!
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, reserving 1 cup of the pizza sauce for later. Using hands or a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients until they are evenly combined.
1 lb ground pork, 1 lb ground beef, 1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal, 1 large egg, ½ cup diced onion, 2 cups prepared pizza sauce, ¼ cup chopped fresh basil, 2 tsp fresh thyme, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1 tsp kosher salt
Spray a baking pan (a sheet pan works well) with nonstick baking spray and shape a loaf roughly 4 inches tall and 12 inches long.
Pour half of the reserved sauce on top of the loaf, spreading over the top.
2 cups prepared pizza sauce
Bake in the preheated oven until browned and cooked through, 50-60 minutes. The meatloaf should register 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.
Remove from the oven and pour the rest of the pizza sauce over the loaf. If a pizza-style finish is desired, grate 4 ounces of mozzarella on top.
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes. Then slice and serve.
