MARINARA MEAT LOAF
PATTIES
These cute, uniform meat loaf patties were a change of pace from
hamburgers. Very tasty and easy to make those uniform shapes using the wide mouth Mason jar lid covered with plastic wrap. Pancake rings would also work or a large, round cookie cutter. Failing that, measure using the 1/4 cup measuring cup, make a ball and flatten in the palms of your hands. Simple! This is tasty way to serve ground beef and make it much more interesting! You can even serve these on low-carb hamburger buns or on my new Sandwich Thins.
