Learn how to make a special and very flavorful German Meatloaf named Pizza-Fleischkäse. This variation of Leberkaese gets this name because it has pizza toppings in the meatloaf mixture.

In this recipe I use one of the most common Pizza-Fleischkäse ingredients which are bell pepper and cheese cubes. In the south of Germany it is a very popular office lunch or snack while shopping, where it is eaten as kind of a Bavarian burger in a bun.
