Meatza Tips:
- Making a mini version of these meatloaves would also be awesome! Place into a mini muffin pan, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 160 degrees.
- If you like your pizza spicy add ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

This is an amazing idea, so creative, beautiful !!! The only question I have is why on Earth didn't I think of that 🙂 🙂 Thank you so much. My son will love it the moment I suggest it for lunch on Saturday !
Oh my gosh I just read this out loud to my family. Meatza! This looks WAY better than a vegan cauliflower pizza crust. YEAH. Hahaha! You crack me up! I totally am trying this.
Aww thanks so much Karen! <3 HUGS Hope you try it.
YUM!!! I may have to try this, esp the mini version so everyone can choose their own toppings! (Btw, the ingredients list says "1 lb left ground beef;" I'm guessing that's supposed to be "lean," right?)
Eeek good catch, I updated the post thank you Christina! 🙂
Wow! That's great! I like to eat pizza but I'm on a diet.
Or do what I did yesterday. Two burgers, with bacon and cheese or whatever else you want in the middle. Protein heaven!
