Mini Meat Loaves with Green Beans
Ingredients
  • 1
    egg, lightly beaten
  • 1
    cup purchased pasta sauce
  • 1/2
    cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • 1/4
    cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped if large
  • 1
    pound lean ground beef
  • 1
    cup shredded mozzarella cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1
    ounce fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 1
    tablespoon olive oil
  • Crushed red pepper (optional)
Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to boiling. In large bowl combine egg, 1/2 cup of the pasta sauce, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of the basil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add beef and 1/2 cup of the cheese; mix well. Divide beef mixture in four equal portions. Shape each portion in a 5-1/2x2-inch oval. Place on 15x10x1-inch baking pan. Spoon on remaining pasta sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 15 minutes or until internal temperature registers 160 degrees F.

2. Meanwhile, cook green beans in boiling salted water for 10 minutes. Drain; toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and red pepper. Serve with meat loaves. Sprinkle all with remaining basil leaves. Serves 4.

I added some chopped onion, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic. I rolled up 1 personal size string cheese inside each mini loaf. Boyfriend who swears he does not like MEATLOAF, tried to stall on trying it, but I insisted he try 1 bite (he is like a kid sometimes). He ended up eating 2 of them, and every week he asks when I am making them again.
