Dare I say I combined the two greatest classics? Let me give you a hint, twirl of your fork and dig into heaps of spaghetti (or like my niece Lily calls it pssssghetti). Then there is the loaf version good old fashioned meatloaf. Nothing more simple, or comforting then these no frills dishes. Why not combine the two? You get the moist center of a meatball yet the sweet crust of meatloaf that we all love. Meatloaf bites even though it is renamed, always best served over pssssgehtti.
Meatloaf Bites
1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 eggs
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup flavored bread crumbs
2 tbsp. ketchup
2 tbsp, fresh parsley, chopped
Topping:
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. mustard
1 tbsp. onion soup mix
Preheat Oven to 400 degrees
Saute onion and garlic in olive oil , until onion is translucent set aside
Combine remaining ingredients and add onion mixture. Be careful not to over mix
Combine topping ingredients and set aside
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, scoop meat mixture with a small ice cream scoop, (so all meatballs will be even in size which will ensure an even cooking time). Brush topping mixture over meatballs. Bake for 20 minutes.
