Y’all know I love finding fun twists on classic recipes. And these miniature meatloaves stuffed with ooey gooey cheese definitely fit the bill! All the warm, familiar flavors of meatloaf, now in cute handheld portions with a delightful surprise inside.
. Meatloaf, But Make It Fancy
Growing up, my mama served up meatloaf at least once a week. Such a hearty, budget-friendly meal that still fills me with nostalgia. These adorable stuffed meatloaf bites take me right back to those family dinners!
We make the base just like meatloaf – ground beef and pork mixed up with onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and seasonings. But then we get creative!
Flattening out small portions and filling them with shredded mozzarella cheese before shaping into mini loaves. So clever!
The cheese gets all melty as they bake, making each bite extra decadent. Kids and adults alike flip for ’em!
. Perfect For Parties or Family Meals
Now, you can serve these little lovelies as an appetizer for parties or shape larger ones for a main course. Dip them in ketchup, marinara or barbecue sauce for extra flavor.
They’re also a fun way to get picky eaters to enjoy meatloaf! Just leave out the cheese filling to make plain mini loaves if needed.
I like to pair them with mashed potatoes and green beans for a updated spin on that old fashioned meat and potatoes dinner. But they’re great alongside salads, roasted veggies, pastas – whatever you love!
Let me know if these become a new staple in your home like they have in mine! Comfort food doesn’t have to be boring. Enjoy, friends!
