This morning I woke up craving meatloaf. Tonight I made meatloaf. Simple as that.
After work I reached down in the cupboard for a loaf pan and grabbed the muffin tins by mistake. But...ah...what about mini meat loaves I thought?
Yes, perfect.
Each time I make meatloaf I dump in different ingredients. The premise stays the same (egg, some sort of breadcrumb/crushed cereal/oatmeal, seasonings, etc.), but more often than not each loaf has a different flavor. Tonight I went to Italy. As we all know I love Italian food.
Mini Italian Meat Loaves
1 lb. ground turkey or beef
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. Italian style breadcrumbs
1 egg
1/2 c. marinara or spaghetti sauce
1 t. pepper
1 t. salt
Stir together all ingredients until just combined. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 6 regular sized muffin tins with cooking spray. Form meat into large balls and place in tins (they will make 6). Spread additional marinara/spaghetti sauce on top.
Bake for 40 minutes. Remove from muffin tin and let cool 5 minutes before eating. This will prevent a burnt tongue and lip (I didn't listen to my own advice).
Oh, and of course serve with baked garlic fries. That's a given.

So tomorrow is Thursday, which essentially is my Friday (yep, only work 3 days a week!), which always makes the night seem so much better. Even though I love my job. I start looking forward to the long weekend - which this weekend includes a trip to the rents, a lunch at Newton's Paradise Cafe with some old friends and co-workers, and a visit to the dentist. Ugh.
I like everything but that last one.
I know one person in my life who loves the dentist (who I will be seeing this weekend, hopefully). She's crazy. Does anyone really love the dentist???
