Hubby and I usually spend Valentine’s Day at home with the kids. It’s not the easiest night to find a babysitter and I’d rather be at home with people I love, then in a crowded restaurant. If you are like us, these Mini Meatloaves are perfect for Valentine’s Day Dinner at home with the family or your significant other! You could even pick up a Heart-Shaped Muffin Tin (or mold them heart-shaped with your hands) to give it more of Valentine’s Day look.
MINI MEATLOAVES
This recipe makes 6-8 mini loaves and is really easy to whip up. The cheddar cheese gives it great flavor too!
Ingredients
1 egg
3/4 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef
2/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the egg, milk, cheese, oats and salt. Add the ground beef, mixing well, and form this
mixture into six to eight miniature meatloaves. Place these in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
3. In a separate small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Stir thoroughly and spread over each
meatloaf.
4. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 minutes.
