Susan Wollin of Marshall, Wisconsin fixes and freezes these moist little meat loaves that are packed with pizza flavor. "They're great to reheat for an after-school snack or quick dinner on soccer night," she says. "My family likes to drizzle extra pizza sauce on top." Treat your gang to a few tonight.

Ingredients:

• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup pizza sauce
• 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1-1/2 pounds ground beef
• 1-1/2 cups (6 ounces each) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• Additional pizza sauce, optional

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine the egg, pizza sauce, bread crumbs and Italian seasoning. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Divide among 12 greased muffin cups; press onto the bottom and up the sides. Fill center with cheese.
Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Serve immediately with additional pizza sauce if desired. Or cool, place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months.
