My Mini-Meatloaf Dinner



I just had to share this with you....I was making meatloaf for dinner and at the last minute decided to make individual loaves in a cupcake pan. I have to say that they looked adorable but most of all they were delish! Usually, I chop an onion very fine and add that but this time, in addition to the onion, I shredded a zucchini and added that also. The meat was so moist! I weighed a loaf after it was cooked and it was a total of 4 oz. I had almost a full one and Steve had 2. I baked them at 375 for about 35 minutes. I have 6 leftover so I froze them and I will get 2 more meals out of them. Not bad!

I am going to have to try that with meatloaf! Once I move again and am living alone that's the perfect way to have it handy.

I made it tonight, too...and tasted so good after 3 week of liquids.

I have done the vegetables hidden in my meatloaf thing before but the muffin size is a coolarific idea..I will use it next time.

Kristin said...

AWESOME idea with the muffin size! And adding the zucchini too. Did you use all beef or a mix of meats?

Buy a disposable muffin tin for these, and poke a few holes in the bottom of each muffin space. Put the filled holy tin on a rack over a baking sheet and then into the oven. After you cook them, drain the grease and see the fat you are not eating with these awesome eats. Turkey works also. !!!

I love mini loafs! So fun!

OMG, you are making me hungry! I made these with ultra lean turkey burger when I first got banded and got consistently stuck. I think the lean turkey was too dry. I want to try them again....

Have fun in Long Island!
