What You'll Need
1 pound Ground Beef 1/2 pound italian sausage 1/3 cup italian style bread crumbs 1/2 medium onion finely chopped
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 cloves minced garlic 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper 1/3 cup shredded parmesan 1 TBSP pesto 1 tsp oregano 1/2 tsp smoked red pepper 1/2 tsp rosemary
Marinara sauce Goat cheese
How You'll Do It
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Combine all ingredients except marinara and goat cheese in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly.
3. Shape beef mixture into 12 equal portions.
4. Place into 12-cup standard muffin pan, lightly patting beef mixture to level top.
5. Bake for 20-24 minutes.
6. Remove from oven, and transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Add goat cheese in the shape of a mushroom stem to the bottom of each mini meatloaf. Spread marinara out to look like a mushroom cap. Add dots of goat cheese to the marinara to add spots to your mushrooms.
7. Cut basil strips for eyes.8. Place under a broiler on high for 5-10 minutes. It's important to keep a close eye on your meatloaves during this phase as they can easily burn under the broiler. Pull them out when the goat cheese is just starting to brown.
8. Enjoy! We like to serve these with mashed potatoes and broccoli tossed in butter and parmesan cheese.
