LITTLE MOZZARELLA-STUFFED MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
• Break the meatloaf mixture into a large bowl and use your hands to lightly work in the onion, bread crumbs, egg, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper until evenly mixed. Take care not to overwork the mixture.
• Space the pancetta slices, if using, a few inches apart on the prepared pan and put the cutter on top of 1 piece. Divide the meatloaf mixture into 4 equal portions. Press a piece of cheese into the center and then press the meat around it to enclose it completely. Put a portion in the cutter and press gently so that it covers the pancetta evenly, and makes a neat, flat disk. Repeat with the remaining meatloaf mix to make 4 little loaves. Remove the cutter.
• Whisk the glaze ingredients in a small bowl, and then spread about 1 tablespoon of the mixture over the top and sides of each meatloaf. Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 325 degrees F. and bake until cooked through, about 15 minutes more. To serve, ladle some hot marinara sauce into the centers of 4 plates, and set the meatloaves on top.

MINI MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Gently combine the pork and turkey by hand in a large bowl. Stir together the oats, 2 tablespoons of the ketchup, 1/2 tablespoon of the mustard, the soy sauce, oregano, egg whites, onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl until combined. Add the oat mixture to the meat mixture and combine by hand until just incorporated.
• Form the meatloaf mixture into 4 small football-shaped loaves, about 4 inches long and 1 1/2 inches thick, and place on the prepared pan. Stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons ketchup and 1/2 tablespoon mustard in a small bowl. Brush some of the ketchup mixture on each meatloaf.
• Bake until fully cooked, about 20 minutes. Garnish with additional fresh oregano if desired, and serve.

MINI SKILLET MEATLOAVES

Steps:

• Mix the breadcrumbs, milk, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, chili powder and garlic in a large bowl. Add the meat, season with salt and pepper and mix with your hands until combined. Shape into six 3-to-4-inch oval loaves.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the loaves and brown about 3 minutes per side.
• Whisk the ketchup, sugar and vinegar in a bowl and brush a few tablespoonfuls over the meat. Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, cover and simmer over low heat until cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Transfer the loaves to a plate. Add the remaining ketchup mixture to the skillet and cook over high heat, stirring, until thick, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve 4 meatloaves with the hot glaze, reserving 2 for quesadillas.

MINI MEATLOAVES WITH MUSHROOM-HERB ORZO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Pulse the bread with half of the mushrooms in a food processor until fine; transfer to a large bowl. Add the beef, egg, 1 tablespoon parsley, the paprika, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Mix with your hands until just combined. Form into four 3-by-4-inch mini meatloaves; transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until browned and cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook as the label directs. Reserve 3/4 cup cooking water, then drain the orzo.
• Slice the remaining mushrooms. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, undisturbed, until they just start browning, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the sage and season with salt and pepper; cook until the mushrooms are tender, 1 to 2 more minutes. Stir in the orzo.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 3 tablespoons parsley and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Gradually add the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen; season with salt and pepper. Drizzle the meatloaves with the yogurt and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with the orzo.
