One of my favorite food blogs is Writes4Food by Bryn Mooth. As part of her ongoing Clara project, Bryn updated Clara’s classic meatloaf recipe into a modern meatball that won rave reviews with my family.

Personally, I think that the transformation into a meatball is genius. To me, the worst part of meatloaf is the fatty, goopy mess that the meatloaf cooks in. I bake mine on a baking rack on a foil lined baking sheet

The best part from my perspective? The meatballs freeze well. One batch makes multiple meals. Just thaw, make a fresh batch of ketchup glaze, bake and serve over mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles.

Easy update of a classic recipe.

Review

“Ooh! Meatballs without sauce! This is… different. I like it!” I could have guessed this, as the Tiny Kitchen Assistant rarely has a bad thing to say about meat.

“Not bad,” said The Husband. “Much less greasy than regular meatloaf. Good flavor, too.”

    Rack over foil-lined pan. Genius. My Greek meatballs always end up sitting in a grease bath. Will steal this idea once I have racks again.

    I do the same thing with all of my meatballs. It’s the way to go.
