Great for this single gal and no oven waiting time.:) Makes 4 mini mug meatloafs.
1 pound extra-lean (92% lean) ground beef
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
1 large egg
1 (5 1/2-ounce) can V8 vegetable juice
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup ketchup
Step 1
Stir together first 8 ingredients in a big bowl. Divide mixture evenly into 4 portions. Shape each portion into a ball. Place each ball into an 8-ounce microwave-safe coffee mug.
Step 2
Line the bottom of the microwave with a big sheet of wax paper in case juices from the meatloaves bubble out.
Place mugs in a circle on top of wax paper. Cover mugs with another big sheet of wax paper. Microwave at MEDIUM-HIGH (70% power) 11 minutes. Cut into meatloaves with a knife and fork. If any are still pink inside, microwave them 30 seconds more and recheck for doneness. Carefully remove each mug from the microwave using oven mitts.
Step 3
Spread 1 tablespoon ketchup over each meatloaf; cover with wax paper, and let stand 2 minutes.
