Ingredients
  

The Meat Loaf

  • 1 lb lean ground beef thawed
  • 1/2 cup rice krispies or oatmeal, bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup bbq sauce any kind. I use Sweet Baby Rays
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire
  • 1 tbsp minced onion

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp parsley optional
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

The Sauce

  • 1/4 cup ketchup

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease muffin tins.
  • In a bowl, combine all of the meatloaf ingredients. Mix together well with a spoon.
  • With your hands, form 2-3 tbsp balls of the meat mixture and put in each muffin tin. It should make 10-12 'loaves',
  • In the same bowl, combine the sauce ingredients. Mix well with spoon. Place about 2 tsp worth of sauce on each loaf.
  • Bake in oven uncovered for approximately 20-25 minutes. Or until internal temperature is 160 F. Try not to overcook as it leads to dryness and burnt bottoms!
