Pizza sauce, cheese and vegetables give this meat loaf its pretty pizzazz. It's an economical dish that feeds my husband and me for days. Ingredients:
2 eggs |
1 cup milk |
1 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers (about 25 crackers) |
1 medium onion, chopped |
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1-1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano or 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano |
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
1 cup pizza sauce |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
sliced fresh mushrooms and green pepper, optional |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Pat into a greased 8-in. square baking pan.
2. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50 minutes or until the meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°; drain.
3. Spread pizza sauce over top. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Bake 10 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted.
4. Meanwhile, if desired, saute mushrooms and green pepper in a skillet. Using two large spatulas, carefully transfer meat loaf to a serving platter. Top with the mushrooms and green pepper. Yield: 8 servings.
