FAQs
Can you bake this meatloaf in a loaf pan? Yes you can! I usually bake my meatloaf in a loaf pan, but for this recipe I wanted the sides to be crispier, kind of like a pizza. If you wanted to bake it in a loaf pan, you can bake it for 1 hour and remove the foil. Check on it, and if you think it needs a little more time for the cheese to melt or the pepperoni to crisp up, bake for another 5 minutes but make sure you keep an eye on it!
What to serve with this Pepperoni Pizza Meatloaf. Smoked PotatoesAny kind of potato and salad goes really well with this meatloaf. These in particular would be a great side dish.
