I know it sounds odd, but it could be one of the most delicious dinners I’ve had in a while. Meatloaf is one of my favorite things to eat, and in the shape of a muffin – how cute is that? I was trying to find a recipe for a scrumptious dinner last night, and I came across MEATLOAF MUFFINS, and put my own little twist on them. It’s especially a good meal to make if you’re having an informal dinner party. Put the ‘muffins’ of meatloaf into cute little muffin cups and pass those little guys around.
Ingredients (for 12 muffins):
- 1 3/4 pounds of ground sirloin
- 1 medium onion – chopped
- 2 ribs of celery – cut into 2 inch pieces and then chopped
- 1 egg plus a splash of milk – beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons of Good Seasons Italian seasoning
- 1 cup BBQ sauce
- 1/2 cup salsa
- Vegetable oil
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Put ground beef into a bowl
- Put onion and celery into the food processor
- Put chopped up onion and celery into the bowl with the ground beef
- Add egg (beaten with milk), bread crumbs, and seasoning to the bowl
- Pour half the BBQ sauce and half the salsa into the bowl
- Mix the meatloaf mixture together with your hands
- Brush a 12-muffin tin with vegetable oil or spray with non stick cooking spray
- Use an ice scream scoop to fill the meat into each tin
- Top each ‘muffin’ with a small spoonful of the extra BBQ sauce and salsa
- Bake about 20-25 minutes
- ENJOY
