Another ground beef recipe!  😀  I hope you all don’t mind two recipes in a row!

Today’s recipe is a little twist off of the regular meatloaf.  It’s Pizza meatloaf!  What does that mean?  It is filled with onions,  green peppers and pizza sauce and is topped with pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese.     It was nice having a little twist on an old dish.  Sometimes, just changing a few things on an old recipe, makes it feel fresh and new.

 

Slow Cooker Pizza Meatloaf

 

Meatloaf is great for those in your family who love southern cooking.  I tend to prefer fancier dishes or Mexican food, but I don’t mind a good meatloaf recipe every now and then either.    (If you want to know my absolute favorite, you should check out the Chicken Fajitas ….mmm).

Ingredients

  • 3  pounds ground beef
  • 1 green pepper chopped
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup dry bread crumbs

Instructions

  • Combine 1 1/3 cups of pizza sauce, ground beef, green pepper, onion, eggs, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, minced garlic and parmesan cheese in a bowl.
  • Mix well with hands and shape into a loaf.
  • Make foil balls or put cooling rack, pie pan with holes, or something similar to place meat mixture on top of, so that it doesn't sit in it's own grease for hours.
  • Place loaf in slow cooker and bake on low for 6-7 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
  • Top with remaining pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese.
  • Let cook for another 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.

P.S.  I originally tried this with a pound of sausage in exchange for one of the pounds of hamburger meat.  I much prefer it to be all hamburger meat!   The sausage ended up too greasy and it tasted like it had been cooked together for too long, taking on too much of the grease taste.  Using all hamburger should eliminate this problem.

  • Amorette DavisUser of the Free Freezer to Slow Cooker One Week Menu

    Thank you so much! As a special needs mommy these recipes have helped us so much.   I often am very busy with being a nurse for our child that I don't have time for making sure we get meals.  This allows me to do all my prep on the weekends, while my husband is home to help, and to cook during the week.  So grateful!

  • Linda SearsOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Menus

    Sarah’s Freezer to Slow Cooker ebooks have been a fantastic addition to my meal plans.  They make meal planning easy and my family happy. I love the way each recipe is laid out, with a shopping list and ingredient prep list, along with cooking instructions. Sarah’s done all the hard work for me!  The recipes have used have all been delicious and easily adaptable to my family’s taste and the number of people I’m serving.

  • FranOwner of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebooks
     I purchased all of your freezer to slow cooker ebooks a month or so ago and I'm in love with this way of cooking.  I now have taken all 10 weeks of recipes and written them of my menu planner and then I repeated the 10 weeks and will continue to do so throughout the year.  My family of 5 adults and 1 child enjoy the meals that you have planned and I have cooked and I'm excited that the next time when that meal comes due up in the rotation I won't have to purchase anything but just pull it from the freezer.  Thank you so much

    This makes my life so much easier. I'm a busy work at home/stay at home mom, wife, business woman and I feel like dinner is always the thing I just never get time to do. We have done like 15 of the crockpot recipes from Sarah and they are all very yummy. They get a thumbs up from my husband and kids every time. And there is always enough for my husband to take the left overs at least 2x per recipe. I have a family of 5, 2 adults, 21, 13, 16. So it makes plenty. Thank you Sarah.

  • Dawn S.Buyer of Freezer to Slow Cooker Ebook Series
    I am a 59-year-old wife and mother of two grown children.  I love your idea of fixing a lot of meals ahead of time and then pulling one out, put it in the crockpot, and you have dinner when you get home.  I hate feeling rushed when I cook so Monday - Friday I use those crockpot meals and make enough that we have lunch the next day.  I take Sunday afternoon, fix up what I need for the week (I don't have a lot of freezer space so I do a week's worth at a time) and I'm done with it!  Saturdays I like to try new recipes from some of my cookbooks which I am finding I can freeze as well!  So you have shown me a whole new way to organize my time and still put a healthy meal on the table.  Thanks so much and I look forward to future blogs.
