Personal Pizza Stuffed Meat Loaves
6 servings
prep time: 45 minutes
1 1/2 lb. extra-lean ground beef
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 tablespoon milk
1 to 2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. dried pizza seasoning
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/3 cup finely chopped onions
1/3 cup chopped pitted ripe olives
3 (1 oz.) slices mozzarella cheese, cut into strips
1. Heat grill. In large bowl, combine ground beef, bread
crumbs, milk, garlic, pizza seasoning and salt; mix well.
Shape mixture into twelve 4 inch sausage shaped rolls.
Flatten each to 1/4 inch thickness to form patties.
2. In medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the pizza sauce, onion
and olives; mix well. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of mixture
evenly onto 6 patties, spreading to within 1/2 inch of edges.
Top with remaining patties; pinch edges to seal.
3. When ready to grill, place meat loaves on gas grill over
medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium
coals. Cook 10 to 14 minutes or until meat loaves are thoroughly
cooked, turning several times. Brush meat loaves with remaining
1/4 cup pizza sauce and top each with cheese strips; cook an
additional minute or until cheese is melted.
BROILING TIP: To broil loaves, spray broiler pan with non-stick
cooking spray. Place meat loaves on sprayed pan; broil 4 to 6
inches from heat using times in recipe as a guide, turning
several times. Brush meat loaves with remaining 1/4 cup pizza
sauce and top each with cheese strips; cook an additional minute.
