Mini-Meatloaf

What a great idea.... it's just meatloaf pressed into muffin tins. It's so convenient!! Try it ... you know you want to hehehe!

Hi Brooke, My grandmother taught me to make a couple of small meatloaves instead of one big one when making them a long time ago. This way they cook faster and more even. I haven't had meatloaf yet, but I may make it this week now! Thanks for making me think outside of the "chicken" meal! Fran

yeah I'm so sick of eating the same things, I'm desperate for new ideas!! Good luck!

Hi Brook, My mom made meatloaf last week. I threw up after two bites. I think it was because it was too greasy though. Its weird I can eat beef jerky fine, but ground beef hurts. Liz

Beef Jerky!! Thats a great idea... I didn't even think to try that! My meatloaf was a little greasy too but I drained most of it out. I used lean ground beef, but next time I think I'm going to try ground turkey. Thanks for the jerky idea (any favorite brands).. Brooke

Brooke, Thanks for the suggestion. I need all of them I can get. Jessica

no problem!

I'm not a great cook but I have used ground turkey instead of ground beef for years. For families with picky eaters try this. Mix your meats 20/80 or 30/70 then 50/50 thne 30/70. Sometimes it doesn't take that long to get them used to it. Sometimes it does but there's almost no grease in the ground turkey. I like the idea about the little mini loafs. I have one of the food savers and I bet those would freeze up beautifully. Linda

I have tried the recipes from Susan Maria's book on Bariatriceating.com. They are great and the kind of food that suits us. I am making the mexican meatballs tonite. Suzanna's Chili is outstanding, although I substitute ranch beans for the black beans and when I eat it I stir in some Any Whey instantized protein for an extra protein shot.

A nurse in my support group loaned me that book... I copied several of them!! Most of them have been really great!
