Meatloaf Muffins

Yep. You read that right. Meatloaf Muffins. I'm not sure if it's been done before or not, but for the Skelton household, it was most definitely a first!

 

Since the New Year, the hubs and I have been watching what we eat...which basically means that we haven't had mashed taters and/or meatloaf in a long time!

 

Well, he's been begging for meatloaf and I've been dying of blogging about our cooking.

So, we found us a happy medium.

 

Meatloaf Muffins.

 

The recipe:

1 pound lean beef (remember, we are on diets!)

1/2 bell pepper

1/2 medium onion

1 egg

1 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup milk

1 package meatloaf seasoning

 

 

 

 

The piping kit...that the husband searched for all over town!

We are going to need it for our 'icing'!

 

 

 1 pound lean beef, you can use whatever you prefer, but this was

96% lean; a yes in our book.

 

 

Dice up your 1/2 onion and 1/2 bell pepper.

 

 

Throw a few tablespoons of olive oil into a saucepan and sauté those veggies!!

While your veggies are cooking, combine the meat, egg, bread crumbs, milk and meatloaf seasoning.

Once the veggies are done, let them cool and then add them to the meat mixture.

And remember, don't you dare shape this into a loaf, we are making Meatloaf muffins!

 

1 pound of meat (plus all the filler) makes about 6 muffins.

Remember to spray the heck out of your muffin pan!!

Or do what we did. Go to Kroger and buy the cheap muffin tin...we still sprayed the heck out of it, but that way, we didn't risk loosing one of our muffin pans.

Bake in a 350* oven for approximately one hour or until internal temperature of meat reaches 170*.

 

For our icing, I just made standard mashed taters. Nothing fancy.

I just added a bit more milk so that they would be extra creamy and would fit into the piping kit that Tay bought.

 

 

And voila!

Meatloaf Muffins!!

With all the trimmings: icing and sprinkles :)
