Provided by Brenda | A Farmgirl's Dabbles

Categories     Dinner Ideas

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 T. olive oil
1/2 c. finely chopped yellow onion
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 c. your favorite marinara sauce, divided (I like to use a spicy marinara)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 c. seasoned Italian bread crumbs
2 T. grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 T. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 lb. lean ground beef
8 oz. mild Italian sausage, or use hot Italian sausage to kick up the flavor
a 4 oz. block of mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 cubes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400° F. Very lightly spray a regular-sized muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Heat a medium skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add oil. Once oil is hot, stir in onion. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until onion is softened, stirring occasionally. Then add garlic and sauté for 3 minutes more. Remove pan from heat. Transfer onion and garlic mixture to a large bowl. Let cool for a few minutes.
  • To the onion and garlic mixture, stir in 1/2 cup of the marinara, and then the egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine. Add ground beef and Italian sausage, and combine thoroughly with your hands.
  • Lightly press about half of the meatloaf mixture into each of 12 muffin cups. Press a cube of mozzarella gently into the center of each muffin cup. Top each cube of cheese with more meatloaf mixture, evenly dividing up the remaining mixture.
  • Top meatloaf muffins with remaining 1/2 cup of marinara, dividing evenly amongst the 12 portions. Place muffin pan on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until internal temperature registers 165° F and the muffins are hot and bubbling. Remove pan from oven and let stand for a few minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer meatloaf muffins to a serving platter. Sprinkle with additional chopped parsley, if desired.

Provided by Ayako-sama

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     Italian

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 19

nonstick cooking spray
¾ cup milk
3 tablespoons Italian-style salad dressing
1 tablespoon prepared yellow mustard
1 egg
½ cup quick-cooking oats
¼ cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 ⅓ pounds ground beef
⅓ cup diced onion
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons celery seed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Italian-style salad dressing, or to taste
2 tablespoons ketchup, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray two extra-large 6-cup muffin tins with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Mix milk, 3 tablespoons Italian dressing, mustard, and egg together in a large bowl. Mix in quick-cooking and old-fashioned oats followed by Swiss cheese, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Let mixture sit for 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in beef, onion, oregano, garlic, celery seed, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let sit for another 3 to 5 minutes to absorb liquid, as mixture will seem very wet.
  • Scoop out mixture and mold into twelve 1/3- to 1/2-cup balls. Place into the prepared muffin tins. Drizzle tops with more Italian dressing.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the centers and browned on top, 35 to 45 minutes. Remove muffins from the oven and drizzle tops with ketchup.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Broil in the preheated oven until ketchup is cooked and meat muffins are crispy, 5 to 10 minutes.

MEATLOAF MUFFINS WITH BARBECUE SAUCE



Meatloaf Muffins with Barbecue Sauce image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 2/3 to 1 3/4 pounds ground sirloin
1 medium onion, cut into chunks
2 ribs celery from the heart of the stalk, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper
1 large egg plus a splash of milk, beaten
1 cup plain bread crumbs
2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 cup smoky barbecue sauce
1/2 cup tomato salsa
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil
Micro-way-cool Bacon and Green Beans, recipe follows
Smashed potatoes and cream cheese, recipe follows
6 slices microwave ready-crisp bacon
One 16-ounce bag frozen green beans
A drizzle extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
2 1/2 pounds small red potatoes or baby Yukon gold potatoes
1/2 cup half-and-half or whole milk
8 ounces plain cream cheese or veggie cream cheese, cut into pieces
10 chives or 2 scallions, chopped or snipped with kitchen scissors
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Put ground beef into a big bowl. Put onion and celery into a food processor. Cut the bell pepper in half, rip out the seeds and throw them into your garbage bowl. Cut the pepper into a few pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse the processor blades to finely chop the vegetables into very small pieces then add them to the meat bowl. Add egg, beaten with milk, bread crumbs and grill seasoning to the bowl. Next, mix together the smoky barbecue sauce, the salsa and the Worcestershire sauce. Pour half the sauce mixture into the bowl with the meatloaf mix. Mix the meatloaf together with your hands. Wash up. Brush a 12-muffin tin (1/2-cup each) with vegetable oil or extra-virgin olive oil. Use an ice cream scoop to help you fill meat into a each tin. Top each meat loaf with a spoonful of extra sauce. Bake about 20 minutes. Cut open 1 muffin to test that the middle is cooked through. While meatloaf muffins bake, make green beans in the microwave. Serve meatloaf with Smashed Potatoes and Cream Cheese on the side, too.
  • Place bacon between paper towels and microwave 60 seconds on high. Cool bacon and chop or crumble up.
  • Place green beans in a bowl and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and microwave green beans on high for 5 minutes, stir and cook 5 minutes more. Remove wrap and top green beans with crumbled bacon.
  • Boil potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. While the water boils and when the potatoes are cooking, you can be working on the meatloaf recipe.
  • When the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the hot pot to let them dry out a bit. Mash potatoes with half-and-half or milk using a potato masher. Add in the cream cheese and smash until the cheese melts into the potatoes. Then add chives and scallions and season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
