Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup baby spinach
1/3 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
1 small clove garlic
12 ounces extra-lean ground beef
8 ounces 99-percent fat-free ground turkey
1/4 cup 2-percent milk
3 tablespoons whole-wheat breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 large egg, lightly beaten
4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
12 slices plum tomato (from about 2 small tomatoes)
5 tablespoons shredded Cheddar
Green salad, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the spinach, cilantro and garlic in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the ground beef, ground turkey, milk, breadcrumbs, chili powder, egg, 2 teaspoons of the Worcestershire, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Combine the mixture well with your hands.
  • Whisk the vinegar and the remaining 2 teaspoons Worcestershire together. Divide and pat the meat mixture evenly into four 1-inch-thick football shapes. Arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Top each meatloaf with 3 slices of tomato and drizzle with some of the vinegar-Worcestershire sauce. Bake until the meatloaves reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 18 to 20 minutes. Drizzle with more vinegar-Worcestershire sauce and top each with the Cheddar and continue to bake until the cheese is melted, about 2 minutes more. Blot the bottom of each meatloaf on a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Serve with a salad if you?d like.

The cheesy filling in these mini meatloaves was absolutely delicious. I could have eaten it by itself! The meatloaf itself was a bit bland, but the cheese made up for it.

These mini meatloaves were a bit dry for my taste, but they were still tasty. I think I would add a bit more moisture next time, perhaps by using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
