I decided to make this delicious caramelized shallot meatloaf muffins as individual servings. This way I can freeze the leftovers and just take out one at a time to enjoy later. You can also form this meatloaf on a baking sheet or use a loaf pan. As a bigger meatloaf I would bake for 45-55 minutes.
Note: I served with smashed cauliflower with butter, chicken broth and sliced scallions. I even made some pan gravy. —Cindy Anschutz
Ingredients
-
7
medium sized shallots, thinly sliced
-
1 pound
ground beef
-
1/2 pound
ground pork
-
1
large egg
-
2
cloves garlic, minced
-
1/2 cup
gluten-free olain breadcrumbs, your favorite breadcrumbs, or almond meal
-
2 teaspoons
parsley
-
1 teaspoon
sea salt
-
3/4 teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
-
Olive oil or Cooking spray
-
2 teaspoons
unsalted butter
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Take a large sauté pan over medium heat and add in butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the butter starts to bubble add in shallots. Let cook until they are fully caramelized. About 25 minutes. Stir often using thongs.
-
Take about 1/4 cup of shallots and let cool. Leave remaining in the pan removed from the heat.
-
On a board dice up the shallots.
-
In a large bowl add in beef, pork, egg, garlic, breadcrumbs/almond meal, parsley, salt, pepper and diced up shallots. Mix well with a fork then if you want with your hands. (To me the hands are the best kitchen tools).
-
Take Muffin tins and either brush with olive oil or coat with spray.
-
Divide mixture among 6 large muffin tins or 12 medium size. Top each with caramelized shallots.
-
Place muffin tin on a large baking sheet. (this just prevents from any grease making a mess of your oven. Lightly cover the muffin tin (just place foil on top but do not seal – I did it so the shallots would not burn) and bake for 20 minutes, remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
-
Remove and let sit for 5 minutes then enjoy!
