CHEESY LAYERED MEATLOAF

My mom used to make this dish and it was always a big hit. Now it's a big hit in my house too! Also, it's still super yummy and much healthier if you sub the ground beef for ground turkey, just remember to add lots of Italian seasoning to the turkey and sauce so it's still super flavorful! Enjoy!

CHEESY MEAT LOAF PIE



Cheesy Meat Loaf Pie image

This is a tasty cross between meat loaf and pizza. Often, I divide it into two pans, bake one for me and freeze the other. That way, I'm ready for drop in company or potluck suppers. Tomato paste or spaghetti sauce can be substituted for ketchup in my meat pie. Cheese lovers might want to add mozzarella to the topping as well.-Judy Foye, Freeport, Maine
