Pizza Meatloaf

Hearty, delicious winter-perfect dinner that cost pennies and really goes the distrance. Combined two all-time favorites into one yummy comfort-food meal! Serve with salad and, for an extra-hearty meal, a side of pasta and garlic bread! Just .90 cents per serving. This came from Woman's World. I have not tried this, just posting for easy finding.
