Meatloaf for Baby

 


I made these meatloaves for Grandson C inspired by an Instagram video.  I used ground up rice crackers instead of breadcrumbs although breadcrumbs are probably fine for him  now.  Wait for the meatloaves to cool before removing from the baking tray sprayed with (Pam floured baking spray) else they might break up.

1 carrot grated
1/2 lb lean ground beef
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning 
1 egg
1/4 c formula
4 rice crackers ground up in a mortar and pestle

Mix all ingredients and fill a mini loaf pan sprayed with Pam floured spray.

Bake in a pre heated 350F oven for 25-30 mins.  When cooled, removed the loaves.  Serve in breadstick sized (finger sized) portions.

I am certain this one might work for me with a little skim milk instead of formula. Great to see this post!

I've noticed that they don't sell as much baby food as when my daughter was an infant. How things have changed. These actually look pretty tasty even for us adults.

Grandson C. has the best grandmother around, Christine. He's one lucky little guy!

This is a great idea for baby. Also for me. Mr. M. doesn't like meat loaf and can't really eat it anyway. I never thought to make mini loaves for me. Thanks Christine.
