Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 4 tablespoon parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
  • 5 basil leaves (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic (grated or chopped finely)
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 4 tablespoon marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese (grated)
  • 7 pepperoni slices

  3. Next, add the ground beef, eggs, and breadcrumbs to the bowl.
  4. Mix to combine all the ingredients well.
  5. Form the meat mixture into a ball and place on a parchment paper (or tinfoil) lined sheet pan.
  6. Push and shape the ball of meat into a pizza crust shape (approximately the size of a dinner plate).
  7. Place in the oven for 25 minutes to cook the meatloaf pizza crust.
  8. When the meatloaf comes out of the oven, drain excess grease from the sheet tray.

  12. It is ready when the cheese melts and is bubbly.
