Mini Greek Meat Loaves with Tzatziki Sauce

This was delicious!!!!!  My two year old ate it up too which made me very happy because there was spinach in the meat.  I had leftovers for lunch today...yum.  Enjoy!!!






Ingredients:


Meat Loaves
1 lb ground beef
1/2 box (9 oz size) frozen spinach, cooked, well drained
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup old-fashioned or quick-cooking oats
2 oz crumbled feta cheese
1 egg plus 1 egg white
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Tzatziki Sauce
1 cup greek yogurt
1/2 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 clove garlic, finely chopped

Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350 degree F. Spray 8 regular size muffin pans with cooking spray.

2. In medium bowl, mix meat loaves ingredients. Scoop generous 1/3 cup meat mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly.

3. Bake 35-45 minutes or until meat thermometer inserted in center of one loaf reads 160 degree F. Let stand in pan 5 minutes.

4. Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix tzatziki sauce ingredients; refrigerate until serving time. Serve meat loaves with tzatziki sauce.


Note: It may take longer than 45 minutes to cook.  I put my broiler on after 35 minutes because I was starving...lol.
