Diner Meatloaf Muffins

Beef  Dinner  Main Dish 

• Servings: 6 two-muffin servings
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 1/2 cup finely chopped carrot (I shredded it)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup ketchup, divided
• 1-1/2 pounds extra lean ground beef, uncooked
• 1 cup finely crushed fat-free saltine crackers (about 20)
• 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• Cooking spray

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F)

2. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, chopped carrot, dried oregano and minced garlic, saute 2 minutes. Cool.

3. Combine onion mixture, 1/2 cup ketchup, and remaining ingredients except cooking spray in a large bowl.

4. Spoon the meat mixture into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Top each with 2 teaspoons ketchup. Bake for 25 minutes or until internat temperature reaches 160 degrees (F). Let stand for 5 minutes.

I'll never make another meatloaf recipe again! In my opinion, thesea re best topped with a mixture of 1/4 cup ketchup, 1 teaspoon dry mustard and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Want to make it even more special? Put a bit of mozzerella cheese in the center of the "muffins". Even better is that these freeze well!
