Last night for dinner I tried another Pillsbury.com recipe. I pinned the recipe to my Main Dishes board, but for some reason when you click the link, it says the recipe is not available on their site. However, if you go through Pillsbury.com directly and search for mini meatloaves you can access it just fine. I'll copy the recipe here for easy access. It was so/so. I mixed the ground beef with ground turkey and I didn't really like the texture of the meat after cooking. I did like the sauce mixture in the meat- it gave some extra flavor and kept it nice and moist all the way through. But mine definitely took longer than 30 minutes to cook all the way. So not a "fail" recipe but not really a winner either. Another good idea in theory- not great in execution.
- 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)
- Hot cooked mashed potatoes, if desired
- 1Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir bread crumbs and 1 cup of the cooking sauce until well mixed; let stand 5 minutes.
- 2Meanwhile, 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.
- 3Spray 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°F (outer loaves will be done sooner).
- 4Meanwhile, heat remaining sauce until hot. Immediately remove loaves from muffin pan; spoon heated sauce over loaves. Serve with potatoes.
