I do not usually like meat loaf, but my family and I can't get enough of these little muffins topped with a sweet ketchup sauce. They are the perfect portion size. This recipe requires no chopping, so it's quick and easy to make a double batch and have extras for another day. They're great to give to new moms, too. Joyce Wegmann, Burlington, Iowa Ingredients:
1 cup ketchup |
3 to 4 tablespoons packed brown sugar |
1 teaspoon ground mustard |
2 eggs, lightly beaten |
4 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
3 cups crispix cereal, crushed |
3 teaspoons onion powder |
1/2 to 1 teaspoon seasoned salt |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
3 pounds ground beef |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar and mustard. Remove 1/2 cup for topping; set aside. Add the eggs, Worcestershire sauce, cereal and seasonings to remaining ketchup mixture. Let stand for 5 minutes. Crumble beef over cereal mixture and mix well.
2. Press meat mixture into 18 muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each). Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes. Drizzle with reserved ketchup mixture; bake 10 minutes longer or until meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer reads 160°.
3. Serve desired number of meat loaves. Cool remaining loaves; freeze. Transfer to freezer bags; seal and freeze for up to 3 months.
4. To use frozen meat loaves: Completely thaw in the refrigerator. Place loaves in a greased baking dish. Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until heated through, or cover and microwave on high for 1 minute or until heated through. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.
