Manly Muffin Meat Loaf
Makes 6 servings

Optional:
Add a clove of garlic, minced, and 1 teaspoon Italian herb blend, or choose your own flavors to add:  chopped bell pepper, celery, diced tomatoes, etc.  Top with marinara sauce before or after baking for extra flavor.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Spoon mixture into greased muffin cups. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until temperature in center of meat loaf is 160 degrees. Cool slightly before removing from muffin cups.

Notes: Combine meat loaf ingredients until well mixed, but don't over mix; too much mixing can make a meat loaf tough. Safety Tip: Cook your meat loaves to 160 degrees. Use a meat thermometer to test the temperature. You will know that your loaves will be completely and safely cooked without being dried out from overheating.
