Traeger Pizza Meatloaf is a fun, smoky twist on classic meatloaf, packed with Italian flavors, gooey mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, and topped with marinara sauce, all slow-smoked for maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for topping)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Extra mozzarella and pepperoni for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Traeger grill to 250°F (121°C) using oak or hickory pellets.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, marinara sauce, mozzarella, mini pepperoni, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Form the mixture into a loaf shape and place it on a grill-safe pan or sheet.
  4. Smoke the meatloaf for 2-3 hours until internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C).
  5. Top with extra marinara sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni slices. Continue smoking until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and cheese is melted, about 20-30 minutes more.
  6. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix the meat to keep the meatloaf tender.
  • Use a probe thermometer to monitor doneness without opening the smoker frequently.
  • Try adding sautéed mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers for even more pizza flavor.
  • Leftovers make great meatloaf sandwiches!
