by Jes Mostek
serves: 8
 
Ingredients:
  2 lb.   lean ground beef (can use 1/2 ground turkey)
  1 (8 oz.) pkg.   pepperoni, diced (can use turkey pepperoni)
  1 (15 oz.) jar/can   pizza sauce (or spaghetti sauce), divided
  3 lg.   eggs
  1 c   Italian flavor bread crumbs
  2 cloves   garlic, minced (or 1/2 tsp. powder per clove)
  1 sm.   onion, chopped
  1 c.   shredded Mozzarella cheese
Directions:
  Heat oven to 350°F.

In a large mixing bowl, combine meats, garlic, eggs, bread crumbs, chopped onion and half of the pizza sauce. Transfer meat mixture to an ungreased bread loaf pan.

Spread remaining pizza sauce over top of meat. Bake (uncovered) for 60-75 minutes, or until meat thermometer inserted into center of meatloaf reads at least 160°F.

When the meatloaf is cooked through, remove the pan from the oven, sprinkle the cheese over the top and return the meatloaf to the oven just until the cheese is melted.
