• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 12 muffins

ingredients

• 2 lbs lean ground beef
• 1 egg
• 1⁄2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons mrs. dash original seasoning (or any dried herb)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 green onions, thinly sliced (including whites)
• 1⁄4 cup carrot, grated
• 3 slices bacon, each cut into 4 pieces

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350F and spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. Gently mix all ingredients, except for the bacon, with your hands in a large bowl.
3. Fill each muffin cup with meatloaf mixture. They should be almost full. Place 1/4 piece of bacon on top of each meatloaf muffin.
4. Cook for 30 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F You can quickly brown the bacon under the broiler for a couple of minutes if you prefer.
5. Tip: After cooking muffins, pry each one out with a fork (or really any utensil) and set on top of the dividers between each cup. This lets the fat drain of a bit before placing on a serving dish.

A good easy mini meat loaf recipe and did love the addition of a bacon square was a nice touch (I used rindless near fat free bacon) and as we don't get Mrs dash here I used a Tuscan seasoning but only 1 teaspoon as it is heavy on the salt and when mixing even though I love balsamic vinegar I was wondering if it would over power the dish but it did not but overall we would have like a slightly more spicy taste but that is personal preverance but still a good quick mid week meal that I would recommend. Ours were cooked at 175C fan forced in just under 30 minutes. Thank you Nif, made for Please Review My Recipe.
