Mini Meatloaves

Here's an idea for a quick and tasty dinner.

I whipped up these mini meat loaves in 20 minutes after a day spent at the pool and playground.

The meat loaves were quick to make, needed only a few ingredients and tasted and looked great.

What you'll need

*This recipe made five meatloaves and served two people, with one loaf left-over for lunch the next day.

For meat loaves
500g beef mince
1 packet rissole mix (Maggi brand in Australia) or faschiertes fix (Knoor brand in Austria)
1 egg
10 slices prosciutto (allowing two for each loaf)
1 tsp vegetable oil

For gravy
1 tbs flour
1 tsp soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce (optional)
1/2 cup water

What to do

Place the mince, rissole/faschiertes mix and egg into a bowl and mix well.

Form the mince into small loaf shapes. I used about a handful of mince,
and patted it into shape.

Wrap one or two slices of prosciutto around each loaf.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil. Once hot, add the loaves and reduce heat to low. You don't want to burn the prosciutto before the inside of the loaf is cooked, so cook it slowly.

It should take about 10 minutes for the loaves to cook through.
You should turn them once during cooking so they are well browned.

If you want to check they are cooked in the middle, you can break one open with a knife to have a look. You won't need to season this as the rissole mix is already seasoned and the prosciutto is salty also.

When the meat loaves are finished cooking, make the gravy.

While the heat is still under the pan, sprinkle the flour into the pan around the loaves. With a spoon, move the flour around to soak up the meat juices and flavours and cook it for 1 minute. Once this is done, add the water and mix it through with the spoon to remove any lumps.

The gravy may look a bit light-coloured, so you can add the soy sauce/Worcestershire for a little colour and flavour. But if your gravy is already dark, don't worry about it.

Serve immediately. We ate ours with potatoes sauteed with rosemary and a garden salad.
