My Meatloaf Brings All The Boys To The Yard

Meatloaf Muffins

I was back in the kitchen today, experimenting with what happens when you put meat in a muffin tin and bake it. The result was a success: meatloaf muffins. Perfect, bite sized servings of meat. I've been calling them meat bombs.

I made mine with ground turkey and topped with low fat sour cream. I garnished with real bacon bits. (Yes, meat as condiment. It can be done.) I filled it with red peppers, onions and skim, shredded mozarella cheese. Turkey dries out, so don't bake it for more than 45 minutes. I used this recipe as a vague guide. The beauty of meatloaf is that there is no hard and fast recipe for it, you just can't let it dry out. You can really put anything into it. I've added salsa in the past for a little extra kick and moisture.
