Personal Meat Loaves

Ingredients

• 3 cups finely chopped yellow onions (three onions)
• 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon thyme
• 3 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
• 1/3 cup chicken broth
• 3 tablespoons crushed tomatoes
• 2 1/2 lbs ground beef
• 3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup ketchup

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a cookie sheet.

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan. Add the onions, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not brown. Off the heat, add the Worcestershire sauce, chicken stock, and crushed tomatoes. Allow to cool slightly.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, onion mixture, bread crumbs, and eggs, and mix lightly with a fork. Don't mash or the meatloaf will be dense. Divide the mixture into 6 -9 portions (depending on size) and shape each portion into a small loaf on a cookie sheet. Spread about a tablespoon of ketchup on the top of each portion. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until the internal temperature is 155 to 160 degrees F and the meat loaves are cooked through. Serve hot.
