Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F and spray muffin tin with cooking spray.

• Fill each muffin cup with meatloaf mixture. They should be almost full. Place 1/4 piece of bacon on top of each meatloaf muffin.
• Cook for 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F You can quickly brown the bacon under the broiler for a couple of minutes if you prefer.
• Tip: After cooking muffins, pry each one out with a fork (or really any utensil) and set on top of the dividers between each cup. This lets the fat drain of a bit before placing on a serving dish.
