Meatloaf Muffins

This recipe is basically a meatloaf recipe, just cooked differently. If you have a personal or family meatloaf recipe that you use, feel free to use that instead of the ingredients that I use.

This recipe makes 9 meatloaf muffins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Ingredients:

-1 lb ground beef

-1 egg

-1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

-1/2 cup bread crumbs

-1/4 cup ketchup

-2 tablespoons yellow mustard

-1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

-1 teaspoon onion powder

-1 teaspoon garlic powder

-dash of salt and pepper

-adding bacon to your meatloaf muffins is optional, you can add bacon bits or precooked and diced bacon strips.

Directions:

1. Mix together the ground beef and all ingredients except the cheese

2. Grease muffin tins (I use pam)

3. Fill each muffin cup with ground beef mixture, about 1/4 full

4. Put a pinch of the cheese on top of meat base

5. Cover with more meat mixture, fill up to 3/4 full

6. Cook in oven for 45 - 50 minutes

7. Allow muffins to sit for 5 minutes before removing from tin

This recipe is SO simple and easy! After making these in a muffin tin, I have never gone back to using my meatloaf tin! These are delicious and perfect for a family dinner, or even as appetizers at a birthday or dinner party. They can even be served alongside the mashed potato muffins I posted earlier :)
