Mini Greek Meatloaf

INGREDIENTS
MEATLOAF
½   pound ground beef sirloin
¼   pound ground lamb
½   cup dry bread crumbs
½   cup chopped green on
ions, white and green parts
1    tablespoon chopped fresh mint (optional)
1    tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
¼   teaspoon ground allspice

SAUCE
1   cup plain Greek yogurt

 METHOD
Preheat the oven to 450 F. Combine all meatloaf ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Press the meat mixture into 4 muffin cups or other small baking dishes and bake for 7 minutes. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before removing from the containers.

Place the sauce ingredients into a small blender or food processor and pulse until well combined. Serve each meatloaf with a dollop of the sauce. Serve with a mixed green salad as an appetizer.

NOTE: Break the beef and lamb into small portions before adding the other ingredients. Do not mix too much or the end product will be very tough.
