This Mini Meatloaf Dinner is incredibly easy to make and cleanup is a breeze! Serve it on top of a bed of sweet potato shreds and you’ve got yourself a comfort-food masterpiece. This is what I call a winner-winner, meatloaf dinner!

Serves: 4

Ingredients

For the Meatloaf Mix:

1 lb. Ground Beef (93% lean)
⅓ cup Italian Breadcrumbs
2 cloves Garlic, minced
⅓ cup grated Yellow Onion
1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
2 tbsp. Ketchup
1 large Egg
2 oz. Colby Jack Cheese, cut into 4 even pieces

For the Sweet Potato Strings:

1 large Sweet Potato
1 tbsp. Taco Seasoning
1 tsp. Olive Oil

Instructions

Spiralize the Sweet Potato and toss with Taco Seasoning and Oil in a large bowl. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 425F.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all Meatloaf Mix ingredients and then form into four loafs.
Push one piece of Colby Jack Cheese into the middle of each loaf, fold meat around Cheese so it's hidden.
Coat a large baking sheet covered in heavy duty foil with cooking spray.
Arrange the Sweet Potato Noodles on one side and the mini meatloaf on the other.
Bake for 15 minutes.
While the dinner is baking, make the Meatloaf Sauce. Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
Take baking sheet out after 15 minutes and flip the Meatloaf pieces then stir the Sweet Potato Fries. Top each Meatloaf with 1-2 tbsp. Meatloaf Sauce.
Place back in the oven and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
Plate and enjoy immediately.

MINI MEATLOAF NOTES FROM JESS:

The cheese isn’t required but highly recommended, as it creates an oozy gooeyness that’s irresistible. To be honest, I used one of my son’s Colby Jack Cheese sticks for this but really, you can use any cheese you want.
We served ours with a side Cesar Salad and a glass of red wine.
