Dinner

Ingredients:
2 pounds lean ground beef
1/2 cup Italian style breadcrumbs
1 envelope (1 ounces) dry onion soup mix
1 cup ketchup, divided
1 egg

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, mix together ground beef, breadcrumbs, soup mix, 1/2 cup ketchup and egg. Using an ice cream scoop, place a scoop of the beef mixture into muffin tin cups that have been sprayed with cooking spray. If you’d, like spoon a little of the remaining ketchup on top of each. Bake for 15 to 30 minutes or until meatloaves are cooked through. Remove from oven and let rest a couple minutes before removing from tins.

Makes about a dozen mini meatloaves.

Notes:
These are really fun “frosted” to look like cupcakes with mashed potatoes piped or frosted on top. You can also decorate the top with a drizzle of ketchup. Top with a cherry tomato, chopped parsley, and/or a few cooked peas. Cupcakes for dinner! So cute!

For Valentine’s Day you can bake these in mini heart shaped pans! The way to a guy’s heart and mine, meatloaf and mashed potatoes!
