Pizza Meatloaf! How can you lose?
Like this.
Wah! Someone help me!
I cannot. CAN. NOT. MICROWAVE MY MEATLOAF! Surely there are laws...rules...something.
I couldn't bring myself to even try it. Now the cookbook did a great job of trying to convince me that microwaving a meatloaf is a great idea. It saves time! It saves clean-up! It saves animals! It saves the environment! It saves your sanity! Oh wait...never mind on the last few. I got carried away.
So, pizza meatloaf! With a few changes.
I had to leave out mushrooms (of course...because mushrooms are an Evil Vegetable).
The ingredients ready for the mix!
I mixed this up with one of my trusty assistants (J-Boy this time) during Baby Girl's morning nap.
I had it ready in the fridge to pull out at baking time. I guessed on baking time - I did about an hour and a half at 350 then 375 at the end. I pulled it out about 15 minutes before it was done and added the rest of the tomato sauce and some cheese on top. After I sliced it I added a bit more cheese to each slice.
The verdict?
The Hubs said it was too salty (and it was pretty salty)...I think it was the sausage. If I did it again I would try to find low sodium sausage. Junior liked it. But the surprising vote to me was J-Boy. He DID NOT like it. DID NOT. This is the boy who at 8 years old can eat half of an extra large pizza. This is the VERY first time he has ever, ever, ever NOT liked something that had pizza in the title. Seriously. He said it was "too hot" meaning too spicy. It was the sausage for him, I'm guessing. Although he said the tomato sauce was too hot and he didn't think it tasted one bit like pizza. We have a meatloaf recipe that everyone likes, so I'll probably just stick with that one in the future.
