Mini Meatloaves

I will be up front.  I don't like meatloaf.  I have no idea why I even tried these little guys, but they are DELICIOUS!  I've been making them for years.

You can mix and match the add-ins to create what you and your family would like the most.  I've only made them the Fiesta way, but this week I am trying the Italian version.  The secret is Stove Top -- the seasonings are already blended for you!

Since you make them in a muffin tin, they are a fun dinner for kids too!

This recipe comes from the Fall 2005 issue of Kraft Food & Family magazine.

Mini Meatloaves

1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 package Stove Top stuffing mix
1 cup water

Choose one of the following sets of ingredients:

Italian
1 tsp Italian seasoning
3/4 cup spaghetti sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella

Fiesta
2 tsp chili powder
3/4 cup salsa
3/4 cup shredded Mexican style cheese

Mediterranean
1 tsp dried oregano
3/4 cup chopped roasted red peppers
3/4 cup crumbled feta

BBQ
1 tsp garlic poder
3/4 cup BBQ sauce
3/4 cup shredded cheddar

Preheat oven to 375.  Mix meat, stuffing mix, water, and your seasoning choice until well blended.  Press into 12 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray.  Make an indentation in the center of each with a spoon.

Spoon your sauce choice into the center of each meatloaf.

Bake 30 minutes or until meatloaves are cooked through.  Top with cheese.  Continue baking for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
