Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup Progresso® Italian style panko crispy bread crumbs
1 can (18 oz) Progresso™ Recipe Starters™ fire roasted tomato cooking sauce
2 sticks (1 oz each) string cheese*
1 lb extra-lean (at least 93%) ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup sliced green onions (4 medium)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. In large bowl, stir bread crumbs and 1 cup of the cooking sauce until well mixed; let stand 5 minutes.
  • 2. Meanwhile, cut twelve 1/2-inch pieces from cheese sticks (store remaining portion of cheese stick for another use). Set aside. Add beef, egg, green onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to bread crumb mixture until well mixed.
  • 3. Spray 12 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray. Divide beef mixture evenly among cups (cups will be very full). Push 1 piece of cheese into center of each loaf. Place muffin pan on cookie sheet to catch any spillover. Bake about 30 minutes or until thermometer inserted in center of loaves in middle of muffin pan reads 160 degrees F (outer loaves will be done sooner).
  • 4. Meanwhile, heat remaining sauce until hot. Immediately remove loaves from muffin pan; spoon heated sauce over loaves.
  • *Regular mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, can be substituted.

I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still really good.

I added some chopped onion and green bell pepper to the meatloaf mixture and it gave them a nice flavor.

I'm not a fan of cheese, so I left it out of the recipe. They still turned out great!

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these turned out really dry. Maybe I didn't mix the ingredients together well enough.

I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great! I used a sharp cheddar cheese and it really gave them a nice flavor.

These were a little dry for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try adding some more moisture next time.

I love that these mini meat loaves can be made ahead of time and then just reheated when you're ready to serve them.
