Mini Pizza Loaves Recipes

MIGHTY MINI LOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool; crumble.
• Place bacon, stuffing, Parmesan cheese, Worcestershire, soy sauce, egg, onion soup mix, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and mix well. Divide meat mixture into 6 individual portions. Mold each portion into oval-like shapes. Press top of each oval in and add Swiss cheese. Mold meat back up over the tops, enclosing cheese.
• Mix ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar together in a separate bowl. Cover each loaf with mixture. Place loaves in the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
• While loaves bake, saute onion over medium-high heat in a frying pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Top baked loaves with onions and let stand for 5 minutes to cool before serving.

SKINNY MINI PIZZA MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Place cereal in resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag and finely crush with rolling pin or meat mallet (or finely crush in food processor).
• In small bowl, reserve 3/4 cup of the pizza sauce. In large bowl, stir together crushed cereal, remaining pizza sauce and milk (mixture will be thick). Let stand 5 minutes.
• Add 1/2 cup of the chopped pepperoni, the egg product, oregano and salt to cereal mixture; stir until well blended. Add ground beef; stir until well mixed.
• Spray 15x10-inch pan (with sides) with cooking spray. Place meat mixture in pan; pat into 12x4-inch rectangle. Cut lengthwise down center and then crosswise into quarters to form 8 loaves. Separate loaves, using spatula, so no edges are touching. Spoon reserved pizza sauce on top of each loaf; spread evenly to cover top.
• Bake 20 to 24 minutes or until loaves are no longer pink in center and meat thermometer inserted in center of loaves reads 160°F. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix remaining 1/4 cup chopped pepperoni with the cheese. Sprinkle evenly over top of each loaf. Bake 3 to 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
