Easy Weekend “Crockpot” Cooking~Mini Meatloaves

This isn’t a crockpot or skillet meal.  However, it IS easy and quick to make.  You can put these mini meatloaves together a few days in advance and store them (covered) in the fridge.  Then, just pop them in the oven about 15 minutes before you’re ready to eat.  Pair them with a vegetable and you have an easy, fast and healthy meal.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground turkey (you could use beef)  I buy mine at Costco in bulk (4 pounds at a time) and defrost it the night before

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

1/4 cup French’s fried onions

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

1 pinch of salt

1 dash of Emeril’s Essence (optional)

1 egg

 

Here’s the fun part…

Toss everything into a bowl and stir.  (Now that’s easy isn’t it?)

Take a muffin pan and spray it with non stick spray.  Using a spoon or your hands, fill the sections of the pan with the mixture.

Flatten them out with a spoon and put a tiny dab of ketchup on top.  Then, add a few more fried onions.

Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes.  (Depends on your oven’s heat)  Use a meat thermometer to determine if they are done.

These cook much faster than a traditional meatloaf so this is great for a busy school night.
