Note: Start with the Italian meat loaf mix. Unless you are feeding a good sized bunch, you will have some of the mix left over. You can use it for a small meat loaf, stuffed bell peppers or meatballs. For us, two of the meat bites makes a meal.
Ingredients
- Italian meat loaf mix
- Thick cut pepperoni, chopped (we get ours in the Deli with a #6 cut)
- Grill Italian sausage (we like the sweet or mild), cut in rounds, 1 round for each meat bite
- Marinara sauce to cover
- Mozzarella cheese, a pinch for each meat bite
- Parmesan cheese, a pinch for each meat bite
Directions
- You will need a muffin tin, we use the 12-muffin tin to make the meat bites a little smaller
- After you mix the Italian meat loaf, form a ball and mold into the muffin tin making a small bowl
- Build up from the bottom of the meat bowl:
- A pinch of mozzarella cheese
- Several pepperoni chunks
- A round of Italian sausage
- A pinch of parmesan cheese
- A spoon full of marinara for topping
- Preheat oven to 400, cook for 20 minutes
