Meatloaf Muffins!

Wish I had a picture of these cuties, but they're gone already.

Ingredients:

1.25 lbs of ground meat, either beef, turkey, pork, or any combination thereof
1 egg
1 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
2 tbsp of bbq sauce, ketchup, or a combination of both
pepper to taste
seasonings to taste
6 cubes of cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, swiss, 3/4" by 3/4"

(Yesterday I used turkey, cheddar cheese, and fresh thyme leaves. Awesome!)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 6-muffin tin with cooking spray. Mix all of the ingredients in a medium bowl, except for cheese cubes. Add more bread crumbs a little at a time if the mixture seems too moist to hold it's shape.

Divide the mixture into 6 equal pieces and form the pieces are one cheese cube each into ball shapes. Place the meatloaf muffins into muffin tins and bake for about 40 minutes. When the muffins are done they will be sizzling and firm to the touch. The tops of some might break open and a little bit of cheese might ooze out. This is another good sign that they are done.

Allow to cool slightly for a few moments before removing. If they stick, slide the back of a butter knife around the muffin.

Serve with ketchup, mashed potatoes, and a warm vegetable such as stir-fried broccoli.

Enjoy!
