olive and dried tomato meat loaf

[galya]

I am lazy when I cook, so here is a new concoction.

1 lb ground lean beef
2 tbsp ground or chopped up black olives
5 chopped dried tomato halves
2 eggs
pepper
oregano
a dash of cinnamon
salt

Mix and bake for 40 minutes.
It's yummy

Meat loaf. yes maybe that is what I will make for dinner....

Hmm I don't have a loaf pan. Maybe meat muffins?

Og.

Meat muffis are cute as hell. When I don't have a loaf pan, I just shape the meat in the middle of a bigger pan, no big deal.

IMO, meatloaf is better without a loaf pan. More surface area is exposed for the "crust."

Looks good Galya. Have to try this one.

I take it out, cut it into pieces and then put it back again so each individual piece can have a "full-body" crust. I am making those into meat-bars I take to work with me.
I am making a variation with pickles, pickled carrots and green beans now. I hope it comes out well. I will be trying to mix it with spinach tomorrow. Beef week for me, I get like that.

meat bars... I don't know what to say.

[galya]

I am working on veggie bars now, I will let you know if I concoct something edible.

making these again. Yum yum! I add chopped up bell pepper and green onions, and some dried chives since I had them. Only had one egg though...hope that's enough to make them stick together.

[galya]

It should be enough

It was! They were yummy. Sister didn't like the buffalo meat, but I did, so more for me
