Pizza Meatloaf Muffins
We love all things pizza here, so it’s no surprise that these Pizza Meatloaf Muffins are not the first time we’ve taken all the flavor of pizza and created something fun and unique like my Pizza Scramble and Pizza Stuffed Peppers, but this time we wanted to focus on making an amazing meal prep meal!
We love how much pizza flavor we were able to pack in to these meatloaf muffins. We use ground turkey as our base and then mix in pizza sauce, some spices, turkey pepperoni and cheese! A little egg and almond flour help hold it all together and it’s topped off with a bit more cheese and pepperoni and finished under a broiler to get a nice pizza like topping! While you are certainly welcome to make your own pizza sauce, we opted to purchase a good quality brand to make this a little simpler to prepare.
Honestly we loved these for meal prep, a kid-friendly snack or even if you’re feeling adventurous a quick breakfast! You can warm it in a toaster oven, your regular oven or in a microwave on the go. We also enjoyed them cold, but that’s totally up to you!
We of course packed these away in my favorite storage containers. I love love love my Ello DuraGlass Food Storage Containers. With other glass ware I have tried, sometimes the lids don’t pop on well, sometimes they don’t stack easily, and so on. These containers are so well-made and are my new go-to! I also love the silicone colors because they grip well too!
- Perfect for stacking.
- Mighty tough: Silicone sleeve protects glass from chips + scratches.
- Everything tastes better in glass: Won’t stain or smell.
- Nobody likes a lunch bag leak: The clear air tight lids won’t leak.
- Easy-to-pair color match lids: Because life’s already hard enough.
- Wash away: All parts top rack dishwasher safe, sleeve and all. No need to remove sleeve for oven + cleaning!
- Comes in all different sizes: For sides, mains, leftovers, and more!
-
Safe for cooking: Freezer safe, microwave safe without lid, and oven safe up to 450F without lid.
-
Free of: BPA, phthalates, PVC, lead and cadmium free.

This was fantastic. I was afraid it wouldn’t be enough for my big family of big eaters, but we had plenty for the 6 of us. Served with mashed potatoes. I think next time I’ll add sliced black olives. Yum.
