MOZZARELLA-STUFFED ITALIAN MINI MEATLOAVES

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Italian Sausage

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 medium onion, diced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 3 string cheeses, cut in half crosswise
  • 2/3 cup ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon yellow mustard

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

  2. In a large bowl, combine egg, milk, oats, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper; stir until well combined. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb liquid. Add onion and ground beef, mixing well. Grabbing baseball-sized portions, form mixture into six small meatloaves (the loaves will shrink slightly as they bake). Stuff each portion with a string cheese half, forming meat mixture around cheese. Place onto prepared baking sheet.

  3. In a separate small bowl, stir together ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Spoon evenly over each loaf.

  4. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
