RECIPE: Meatloaf Meatballs

Share & Help Me Grow

Easy weeknight dinner ideas

I was making meatloaf but had too much to fit into the pan. Silly mistake. Then, the thought that changed our night… maybe our life… popped into my head, “The children will not eat meatloaf, but they DO eat meatballs.” So, I grabbed a cookie dough scoop and went to work on the remaining meat mixture.

Not only was dinner a hit, but the meatballs took half the time to cook! This recipe would be a perfect solution for those busy weeknight dinners and it’s picky-eater approved!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds ground chuck
  • 4 slices bread minced in a food processor
  • 2 eggs beaten slightly
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • Ketchup & mustard for glaze

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Toss all of the ingredients except for the ketchup and mustard into a food processor or stand mixer. Mix until well blended.

      Thank you, my sweet friend. I love meatloaf too. Probably too much. That’s why I look like I carry meatloaf around on my behind. πŸ˜‰

      You might want to add more W-sauce with turkey since it can be so bland. Let me know how it turns out. πŸ™‚

    Great idea. Meatballs also cook quicker than meatloaf, this is a win win!
