Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Italian sausage
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Marinara sauce
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray or oil and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, Italian sausage, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, milk, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well using your hands or a spoon until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Divide the meat mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, pressing it down gently to fill each cup nearly to the top. You should have enough to make 12 mini meatloaves.

Step 4

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce over the top of each meatloaf, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and top each meatloaf with a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese and a few slices of pepperoni.

Step 7

Return the meatloaves to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Let the mini pizza meatloaves cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a spatula or spoon.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
