This was one of the first recipes I tried as a new wife many years ago. These single-serving loaves have been a super hit ever since. I like to serve them with pasta or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
3/4 cup Italian tomato sauce
Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional
Hot cooked pasta, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into six loaves.
Place in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes. Spoon tomato sauce over loaves.
Bake 15 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and a thermometer reads 160°. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve with pasta if desired.

Unfortunately, the flavor in these mini meat loaves was too plain for me.
