Yesterday in our Food Bank of Central New York Heart Healthy boxes we were given fabulous shelf stable foods that can stretch our food dollars.
Oatmeal is an inexpensive way to stretch ground meats - beef, turkey, pork or chicken. Here's a recipe for mini meatloaves that you can prepare once and have a multiple of meals. The mini size also cuts down on cooking time, which save energy and won't heat up your apartments.
Pair a mini loaf with any of the fresh or canned veggies that you received for a nutritious meal that takes minutes.
Mini Meatloaves cook up in HALF the time of a whole meatloaf - an easy, fast gluten-free recipe made with oats instead of breadcrumbs.
