Nif's Bacon-Topped Moist Meatloaf Muffins

A quick dinner that I put together tonight. Super easy and tasty too! Enjoy!

• Ready In: 40 mins
• 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.
