Individual buffalo meatloaves

Last night we had individual sized buffalo meatloaves. All of my kids LOVED this, except for Sera. She isn't a huge fan of red meat, so she really didn't like it.

Individual Buffalo Meatloves

3 lbs. all natural buffalo meat
1 lb. crumbled feta cheese
4 T fresh Oregano
2 small onions
1 C Italian style panko
3 eggs
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350*

Mix all of the ingredients until well combined.
Divide into 8 equal portions.
Form each portion into a "loaf" shape.
Arrange on cooking pan so sides are not touching.
Bake for 30 minutes.

For sides, we had spinach cooked in a little bit of butter and fingerling potatoes that had been brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with some salt and pepper and roasted at 425* for 45 minutes.

The kids dipped everything except the spinach in ketchup.

This meal was rather expensive. Buffalo is pretty expensive in California at $6.99/lb. I bought a cube of feta cheese instead of the precrumbled stuff, which saved quite a bit of money. Feta is SUPER easy to crumble, so it's really pointless to buy the dry, precrumbled stuff if you can get the good, whole stuff. The feta wasn't labeled organic, but was labeled RBST free, which is one of the most important things to me when it comes to dairy.

The kids wasted a lot of this meal, even though they loved it. It was just too much meat for them. I could have easily gotten away with 2 lbs of buffalo instead of the 3, which would have cut all of the ingredients by 1/3, which would have saved about $10.

Total for meatloaves: $29.05
Total for spinach and butter: $6.29
Total for potatoes: $9.10
Total for ketchup to dip everything in: $0.44
Total for meal: $44.98
