What's in a Name?

I can't think of anything entertaining to write about dinner. Oh, except for the name--meatball loaf? meatloaf balls? mini meatloaf? I made meatloaf in my muffin tin, which confused DD and DS who are used to 1) helping with whatever goes into the muffin tin (but since they like eating the batter best, there is no way they get to make meatloaf) and 2) there being raisins or blueberries in the muffins. But there was ketchup and that makes everything good. It's based on my mom's own meatloaf recipe, which has onions and a few other things, and is not baked in a muffin tin. The little individual meat muffins, though, were a hit. And they even ate the greens.

Mommy's Mini-Meatloafballs

1 lb ground beef
3/4 lb ground turkey
1 can Sylvia's Mixed Greens, drained
1/2 cup ketchup, plus more for topping
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine ground beef and turkey, greens, and 1/2 cup ketchup, plus salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Grease muffin tin. Divide mixture into muffin tin. Add dollop of ketchup to top of each meatloafball. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, until thoroughly cooked.
