  • Divide the mixture evenly among 8 muffin cups and press down gently to shape.
  • Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella over the tops of the meatloaves.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.

  • Remove the meatloaves from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
  • Toss the romaine with the Caesar dressing and Parmesan just before serving.

merknader

Use full-fat mozzarella so the meatloaves hold together without added binders. If you prepare the salad ahead, keep the dressing separate until serving to avoid soggy leaves. Leftovers reheat well in a 350-degree oven for 8 minutes, which helps the cheese on top stay melty.
