Mini Cheese Meat Loves

Looking for a healthier way to eat meatloaf and still be able to make ahead of time? This meal is a favorite of our family and I will usually double the recipe to freeze several loaves to enjoy at future dates!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 pound ground turkey
  • 1/3 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp mustard

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the egg and milk in a large bowl. Stir in the cheese, oats, onion and salt. Add the ground turkey and mix well. Shape into 2 loaves and place into loaf pans, or a square baking dish. (I use a bread loaf pan for a dinner for two, and the other into an aluminum bread loaf pan to freeze for later.) Combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard in a small bowl, then spoon over loaves to cover.
  • If freezing right away, cover with foil, label then freeze. Thaw before baking when ready to eat.
  • Bake, uncovered, in an oven preheated to 350. Bake for 45 minutes and enjoy. We enjoy serving with crock pot potatoes and veggies.
