Simple Meatloaf Recipes:
Cheesy Mini-Meatloaves

This is one of the best simple meatloaf recipes I know. Because the loaves are small, they cook up in half the time.

These are delicious hot or cold - try taking the leftovers in your lunchbox the next day. This is a great quick meal!

One of these days I am going to get some cast iron muffin tins. Since cast iron is much easier to clean than aluminum, it would be perfect for this recipe!

Preheat oven to 350F/175C.

3/4 cup/180 mL finely chopped onion

2/3 cup/150 mL bread crumbs

1/3 cup/75 mL lemon juice

1 egg, lightly beaten

1/2 tsp/2 mL salt

1/4 tsp/1 mL pepper

2 lb/1 kg lean ground beef

1/2 cup/125 mL Cheddar cheese, grated

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except beef and cheese.
Add the beef. Mix well.
Pack the mixture into 12 muffin cups.
Mound the cheese over each mini-loaf.
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until meatloaves are set and meat is no longer pink inside.
