• 4.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, cheese, egg, sauteed onions and garlic, 2 1/2 tablespoons of sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
• Using your hands, fold the mixture to combine, taking care not to overwork it.
• 5.
• Mold the mixture into 4-5 miniature-shaped loaves on the lined sheet pan.
• With the back of a spoon, make a little indention or well, in the center of each loaf.
• (This will be to hold extra sauce!)
