Meatloaf Muffins

 

1 TBSP. Butter

  1 onion, chopped

       1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef

1 large egg, slightly beaten

1 cup milk

1 cup dried plain bread crumbs (I actually used the roasted garlic flavor)

salt & pepper, to taste

3 TBSP. Brown Sugar

3 TBSP. Mustard

1/2 cup. Ketchup

Instructions:

1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2) Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions & cook stirring occasionally, until onions have softened. Remove from heat & let cool slighty.

3) In a large bowl, combine the onions, beef, egg, milk & bread crumbs. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Mix well.

4) Brush a 12 cup muffin tin with vegetable oil or Xtra Virgin Olive Oil. Divide beef between the muffin tin. Lightly pat into each well.

5) In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, mustard & ketchup. Set aside.

6) Bake meatloaf muffins 10 minutes. Remove meatloaf muffins from oven & top with ketchup mixture. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes or until meat is no longer pink & a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.

7) Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

You may wanna play around with this recipe and add additional spices. Change it up a bit according to your tastes and that of your family...My kids (especially my 4 yr old daughter) absolutely loved this recipe and ate everything up. You may also be able to get a second batch (or at least half ). I actually got 18 Mini Meatloaf Muffins made (all depends on how big you make them). This is definitely a great idea to make ahead a freeze. Perfect individual meatloafs
