PEPPERONI MEATLOAF

Pepperoni Meatloaf image

This is a kid-friendly spin on the old-fashioned meatloaf mom used to make. The addition of pepperoni adds flavor and excitement. I use extra lean beef to account for the added fat of the pepperoni. If desired, top with tomato sauce or pizza sauce and extra Parmesan.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

3 cups chopped pepperoni
1 pound extra lean ground beef
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
¾ cup cracker crumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 eggs
3 tablespoons dried minced onion
2 tablespoons French-fried onions
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
¼ cup sliced pepperoni, or to taste

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine chopped pepperoni, ground beef, tomato sauce, cracker crumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced onion, French-fried onions, garlic powder, oregano, and tarragon in a large bowl; form into a loaf in a loaf pan.
Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Place a layer of sliced pepperoni on the top of meatloaf and bake for 5 minutes more.
