By , About.com Guide

These well seasoned mini meatloaves are rolled in sour cream and breadcrumbs, then browned to crisp, juicy perfection.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 12 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 Tbsp. butter
  • 2/3 cup quick oats
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 lb. ground pork
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. dill weed
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
  • 10 tsp. butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups soft bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 cup sour cream

Preparation:

Cook onion in 1 Tbsp. butter until tender. Place in large bowl along with oatmeal and milk. Let stand for 5 minutes. Add ground meats, eggs, salt, dill, thyme, and pepper and mix gently. Form into 10 mini loaves. Push 1 tsp. butter in center of each mini loaf.

Chill patties in fridge for 1-2 hours. Then roll each patty in 1 cup sour cream, then in bread crumbs to coat. Heat olive oil and 1/4 cup butter in large skillet and cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Make sure internal temperature of the patties reaches 160 degrees F. When patties are thoroughly cooked, top each with a spoonful of sour cream, cover pan, and cook 3-4 minutes longer. Serves 8
