Beef Cups

Submitted by internetnut

"I made these for my family's dinner. My family really liked these. My 4 yrs old newphew really liked these. We thought they tasted so yummy. They were so easy to make and fast. When I made these I used store brand bread. I found it easier to cut the crust off my bread to fit them in my medium size muffin tin. I also used more Tabasco sauce. I found it's best to bake the muffin tin on a cookie sheet lined with foil as the cheese melts over. I got the recipe from Pinching Your Pennies."

This was pretty good. It was easy to put together. I made a few modifications to suit our current situation. First, I used a shallow, rectangular baking dish as my muffin tins are packed. I buttered the bread and just put it all across the bottom so none of it was up the sides. I had to adjust the cooking time to the size of the pan. I used whole wheat bread and ground turkey. It was a bit wet. I think next time I will add another egg, and maybe brown the meat before adding it to the mixture for baking. I think next time it will be better. Thanks for sharing this! This was happily eaten by a couple pretty picky kids (they had seconds), though the other two extremely picky kids we're hard to convince to even taste it.
