How to Make Low Fat Pizza Style Meatloaf
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with cooking spray and place it on a large baking sheet with sides for easy handling and to catch any drips.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine 1.5 pounds lean ground beef (at least 90% lean), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly.
- Transfer the meat mixture to the prepared pizza pan. Using dampened hands, gently pat the mixture into a 10-inch circle.
- Spread 1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce evenly over the meatloaf.
- Spoon the cooked vegetable mixture over the marinara sauce.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the vegetables.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the meat is browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Let the meatloaf rest for 5-10 minutes before carefully slicing into wedges. Drain off any excess grease before serving.
