Family Favorites, Italian Seasoning Recipes, Pizza Variety Series - March 4, 2021

Susan Wollin, Marshall, Wisconsin, who submitted this to A Taste of Home says..."Fix and freeze these moist little meat loaves packed with pizza flavor. They're great to reheat for an after-school snack or quick dinner on soccer night. My family likes to drizzle extra pizza sauce on top. "

In addition to substituting our Italian Olive Garlic gourmet seasoning for their off the shelf Italian Seasoning, we have also added our Sassie Salsa and Very Very Veggie gourmet seasonings, to really take this dish to another level. Also, one person said they substituted sweet Chili sauce for the pizza sauce. I'm sure that was delicious as well, but there's no doubt our Sassie Salsa and Very Very Veggie along with the Italian Olive Garlic make this dish unique in a complex, flavor-intense serving of unexpected taste palette delight.
