Brown Sugar Meatloaf Muffins

Another crowd-pleaser. Even meatloaf-haters will like this one. Guaranteed. I always serve this with Smashed Red Potatoes.

What You Need:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup ketchup
1-1/2 to 2 lbs. ground beef
1/2 cup milk
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 pkt. onion soup mix
1/4 tsp. ground ginger
3/4 cup saltine crackers, finely crushed
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce, divided
1 tsp. crushed garlic

What You Do:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Grease up a muffin tin. (Go crazy with the cooking spray all over the top of tin - not just in the cups.)
2. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, ketchup, and a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Pour a small amount of sauce (approx. 1 tablespoon) into the bottom of each muffin cup. Set remaining sauce aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine meat and all remaining ingredients. Using approximately 1/2 cup of meat for each, form into loose balls and place in muffin cups. Pour remaining sauce over individual meatloaf muffins.
4. Place muffin tin on a large cookie sheet to catch any overspill and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until meat is cooked though.

Nice new site Nicole!
I'd really like to see photos next time you make 1 of these, it makes it more fun to try a recipe that has a nice image next to it.
