This is a great recipe for kids to make. They might need help pre heating the oven and removing hot pans when the meatloaves are done.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 small yellow onion, peeled and finely diced
1 pound ground beef (80% lean)
1 egg, beaten
¼ cup instant oatmeal
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 small can tomato sauce
1 heaping tablespoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Put ground beef, egg, oatmeal, garlic, salt and pepper in a large bowl and stir just a little. Add the cooled onions. Gently mix in onions.
Scoop out meatball size portions of the ground beef mixture and press into a mini muffin pan.
In a small bowl, mix tomato sauce, brown sugar and vinegar and stir together. Pour the tomato sauce mixture over the top of each meatball.
Bake for 15 minutes. Depending on the size of the muffin pan you may need to adjust the cooking time.
Allow to rest 15 minutes.
