Easy Meatloaf Muffins

Lorin, my daughter, has been sick for the past two weeks. First, it was chicken pox.  Now, she has an upper respiratory infection, and she has been so sweet to share it with her mommy!  Needless to say, tonight's meal needs to be extra easy!
I have been craving my yummy meatloaf, and since I have all the ingredients on hand, this will be my easy, yummy meal.  Making meatloaf muffins has many advantages over the classic "loaf".  First of all, the muffins cook in almost half the time.  Secondly, they taste better, and you don't have to fight over who gets the yummy "heel".  Also, they are cute and already in individual serving sizes, plus kids love them more because they look like muffins.   Grab your muffin pan and get ready for a Chewly Awesome! meal.

I served this with Green Beans and Roasted Baby Baker Potatoes

Meatloaf:

2 lb lean ground beef

1 medium onion finely chopped
1 bell pepper finely chopped
1 pkg Onion Soup Mix
1 tsp. Black Pepper
1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder
2 Eggs beaten
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
3 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce


Topping:
1 cup Ketchup
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease your muffin pan

Combine and mix your beef, onion, bell pepper, soup mix, black pepper, garlic powder and bread crumbs together.  Add your beaten eggs and Worcestershire Sauce.  Mix until combined.

Mix topping ingredients together

Divide into 12 muffin cups  making sure the tops are flat.  Spread topping onto each one.

Bake 35 minutes or until they reach at least 160 degrees inside.  Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Enjoy!
