Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine beef, egg, water, and seasoning. Using a fork or your hands, mix until well blended.  
  2. Press meat into four Mini Loaf Pans. If your microwave is equipped with a turntable, place pans on the edge of the turntable to ensure even cooking; avoid crowding them in the middle. Microwave, on high, 4 min. They will not be cooked through yet. Drain excess liquid.  
  3. Spread tomato sauce on top. Cut each cheese slice in half and place on top of sauce. Microwave on high for 2 min, until cheese has melted and internal temperature reaches 160° F. 
  4. If you have time, let rest in the pans 1–2 min. Using tongs, remove from pans. Top with basil leaves and balsamic reduction.  
Tips

Balsamic reduction is a one-ingredient wonder! It’s simply balsamic vinegar that’s been simmered until it reduces in volume and turns syrupy. You can also find it ready-made in the same aisle of the grocery store as balsamic vinegar. 

Swap crushed tomatoes with Marinara Sauce.

Serve with 12 cup rice and 2 cups leafy greens with a squeeze of lemon juice.
