In a large bowl mix together 1 cup of 14 oz Pizza Sauce with 2 lbs Lean Ground Beef, 2 Tablespoons Dried Minced Onion, 2 teaspoons Garlic, 1/4 cup Bell Peppers (diced), 3/4 Cup Shredded Parmesan, 2 Eggs, 1.5 teaspoon Pizza Seasoning, Salt and Pepper to Taste and 3/4 cup Italian style bread crumbs. I like to use my VERY favorite meat chopper to mix up my meatloaf.
Spray a 3.5 Quart Casserole Crock Pot or 6 Quart Slow Cooker with cooking spray and pat meat down into the insert, making sure the center is pressed down more than the outer edges.
Cover and cook on high for 2-2.5 hours.
If needed, use a spatula to push extra oil from top of meatloaf off to sides.
Pour remaining pizza sauce on top of the meatloaf and top with 1.5 Cups Shredded Mozzarella.
Cover with lid for a few minutes until cheese melts.
Notes
Using lean ground beef for this recipe is important because the meat will shrink up and the fat will pool around the outside of your loaf. If you use a higher fat beef, your loaf will be a lot smaller and you will have a lot more excess oil around the outside.
Once your meatloaf is done, lift slices out of oil and store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
