Mini Meat Loaves

It’s difficult to find an argument against meatloaf & potatoes. As versatile a dish as it is yummy. This English staple can be eaten piping hot from the oven or as a picnic lunch or even a cold mid-night snack & it ends up being no less fulfilling in every way. As a child, I remember we made this quite often at home, mom introducing me at first to it as a meal with greens (‘coz that was the only way to get me to eat some veggies), & then later on as a snack with different dressings. For children, their standard choice of dressing is ketchup…although it tastes good enough with other sauces also.

Ingredients:

•  500 gm sausages
• 500 gm minced beef
• 80 gm quick cook oats
• 70 gm steak sauce
• 2 tsp Worcester sauce
• 1/2 tsp salt

Method

Combine all ingredients & mix well. Divide into 12 balls & shape into mini loaves. Cook in oven for 30 min at 180 degree C. or till done. Best to cool them & keep in fridge & slice & eat in sandwiches.

Mommy’s Tip

You can play around with all kinds of dressings for sandwiches…honey-mustard or barbeque sauce are hot favorites, this gives it a more smoky flavor. If you ain’t feeling too fancy you can also use plain ol’ fashioned ketchup with cheese…feel free to explore & let us know.
