Mini Stuffed Meatloaves

 Succulent, juicy mini meatloaves are stuffed with mozzarella and glazed with marinara. I served these with garlic bread and creamed potatoes. Drools.

Mini stuffed meatloaves

Serves 4

2 medium onions, minced
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch Italian parsley, finely chopped
1 tbsp. dried oregano
1 tbsp. ketchup
1 tbsp. yellow mustard
1 egg, beaten
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 tsp. black pepper
1/2 tsp. salt
2 lbs. ground beef
1 cup mozzarella, cubed
1 cup basic marinara sauce


Grease 8 mini loaf pans.
Pre-heat oven.
In a mixing bowl, combine onions and next 9 ingredients through salt. Add beef and massage seasonings into meat with fingers being careful not to mix too much.
Pat meat mixture into an even surface and divide into 8 equal portions. Take one portion in your palm, form into a ball then pat with fingers to flatten. Place  3-4 cubes of cheese in center of meat patty then enclose cheese with the edges of meat patty, forming a mini loaf. Place in prepared pan. Repeat with remaining portions.
Brush tops of meatloaves with marinara sauce and bake until cooked through about 30-45 minutes depending on oven temperature.
