Mini Meatloaves

[4ALongerLife 329]

Someone noticed what I had for dinner on MFP diary the other nite, so thought I'd post this for anyone that might want it.

Mini Meatloaves

1 Tbsp olive oil

3 c. chopped yellow onions

1 tsp fresh chopped thyme leaves

2 tsp Kosher salt

1 tsp freshly ground pepper

3 Tbsp Worchestshire sauce

1/3 c. cannes chicken stock or broth

1 Tbsp Tomato paste

2 1/2 lbs. ground chuck or ground turkey (I used ground turkey)

1/2 c. plain, dry bread crumbs

2 extra large eggs, beaten

1/2 c. ketchup

Preheat the oven to 350.

Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan.

Add the onions, salt, thyme, pepper and cook over medium - low heat, stirring occasionally for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown.

Off the heat, add the Worchestshire sauce, chicken broth and tomato paste. Allow to cool slightly.

In a large bowl, combine the meat, onion mixture, bread crumbs and eggs.< /p>

Mix lightly with a fork. Do not mash or the meatloaf will be dense. Divide the mixture into 6 (10 to 11 oz) portions and shape each into a small loaf on a sheet pan.

Spread about 1 Tbsp of ketchup on each portion.

Bake for 40 to 45 mins until internal temp is 155-160. Serve hot.

Made this once (so far) and it was good. There is no way a sleever can eat a whole one. I suggest one of two ways to change this - either prep the way the recipe calls or split the mini meatloaves into even smaller versions. I could eat a half of what the recipe calls for.

Per MFP recipe configuration a half of one meatloaf equals the following (yours might be different based on the products you use, please beware this is what MFP configured based on the products that I used):

You could also bake them in muffin tins!

I mixed this recipe up this morning before going to work, will shape and bake it tonight. I think I will just shape them in muffin tins, but turn them out onto a baking sheet so they'll get a little crusty. I will eat one, hubby can have two.

The house smelled delicious from sauteing the onions with thyme!
