Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 8 ounces ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup finely diced bell peppers
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the Italian sausage, ground beef, egg, Parmesan cheese, diced bell peppers, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • Mix the ingredients with your hands until just combined, then divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a small loaf.
  • Place the mini meatloaves on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
  • Toss the trimmed asparagus with olive oil on the other side of the baking sheet and spread it in a single layer.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the meatloaves and return the pan to the oven for 5 more minutes until the cheese melts and the internal temperature of the meatloaves reaches 160 degrees.
  • Remove from the oven and let the meatloaves rest for 5 minutes before serving with the roasted asparagus.

Form the loaves gently to avoid a dense texture. If your sausage is very mild, add an extra pinch of red pepper flakes to the mix for more heat. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven for 10 minutes, which keeps the asparagus from turning soggy.
