Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Muffins

Submitted by PSU_Lioness

"I found this on the Tasty Kitchen website while I was trying to find something to make for dinner. I changed a TON of things from the original because the first time I made it, I baked the muffing until they were burnt on top, but they never cooked on the inside. I added more breadcrumbs and subtracted some of the moist ingredients to get this recipe turned into something not quite so disappointed (but at least the cooked tops tasted good!)."

I made these in honor of National Cheeseburger Day, September 18. I made them ahead of time - super fast and easy - and put them in the oven on a timer-bake setting. The house smelled fantastically like a burger joint when we all returned from a tennis match!<br/>PS - that's my photo!
