Mini Mushroom Meatloaves

From Chow Bella

1 tbsp olive oil

1 8-oz package sliced cremini mushrooms, coarsely torn into pieces

1 small onion, finely diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

3/4 lb ground pork

3/4 lb ground beef

1/2 cup ground almonds

1 egg, lightly beaten

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 cup + 2 tbsp marinara sauce, divided

salt and pepper, to taste

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the mushrooms, onions, and garlic and saute until tender. Remove to the side to cool slightly.

3. In a large bowl, mix the pork, beef, almonds, eggs, Italian seasoning, 2 tbsp of the marinara sauce, the cooked mushrooms and onions and salt and pepper. Thoroughly mix.

4. Press the mixture into 18 3" muffin cups. For easy cleanup, you can line the muffin pan with re-usable silicon muffin liners.

5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear. While the meatloaves bake, heat the remaining marinara sauce. Remove the meatloaves from the oven and allow them to set 5 min before serving with a spoonful of marinara sauce on the side.
