Pizza-Meat Loaf Roll

My husband does not care for meat loaf, however it's one of my favorite childhood dishes that my mom makes (and still occasionally makes for me when we come for a visit). In the six years that my husband and I have been married, I have made meat-loaf a total of ONE time, and that's only because he was on a work trip and I had someone to share it with! When I recently came across this recipe for 'Pizza-Meat Loaf' I thought I would give it a try to see if the various seasonings would 'fool' him enough into liking it......

Pizza-Meat Loaf Roll (from "In the Kitchen with Mary and Martha")
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 sleeve soda crackers
1 lb ground beef
1 lb pork sausage
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/8 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp oregano
1 cup pizza sauce, divided
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup pepperoni, sliced

In a mixing bowl, beat eggs; add milk and crackers. Add meat, cheddar cheese, green pepper, onion, pepper, salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Mix well, using your hands. Place a cookie sheet top-down on counter and cover with waxed paper. Spread meat out on the pan, shaping it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Spread 1/2 cup pizza sauce over meat, sprinkle on mozzarella, and place pepperoni on top. Starting at short end, use the waxed paper to help you start rolling up the meat jelly-roll style. Cut roll in half. Place into a baking dish with seams down. Drizzle 1/2 cup pizza sauce on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
