Number Of Ingredients 9

3 3 lbs. lean ground beef
1 1 can (12 fl. oz.)
2 2 large eggs
1/2 1/2 cup ketchup
2 2 cups quick oats
2 2 pkts.
1 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1 tablespoon dried parsley (optional)
Shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes (optional)

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 350º F.
  • COMBINE ground beef, evaporated milk, eggs, ketchup, quick oats, taco seasoning, black pepper and parsley in large bowl until just mixed. Divide meat mixture into 20 ungreased muffin cups; mound tops slightly.
  • BAKE for 25 to 30 minutes or until no longer pink in center. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin cups.
  • SERVE half the meatloaf muffins over lettuce, cheese and tomatoes, if desired. Makes enough for two 5-serving meals or 20 muffins.
  • TIPS:
  • • Freeze half the meatloaf muffins for another meal. Wrap each in freezer wrap; freeze. To reheat, microwave unwrapped frozen meatloaf muffin on HIGH (100% power) for 2 minutes. If thawed, microwave for 1 minute.
  • • Meat Loaf mixture can be divided into two ungreased 8 x 4-inch loaf pans instead of muffin cups. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until no longer pink in center.
  • • Serve taco sauce along with the muffins.
  • • For a more "comfort food" type meal, serve with mashed potatoes. Slice and serve on a dinner roll or wrapped in a flour tortilla. These are quite portable, great for school lunches along with a packet of ketchup.
