Lunch: BBQ Meat Loaf Minis Recipe

Ingredients

1 package (6 ounces) stuffing mix
1 cup water
2 tablespoons hickory smoke-flavored barbecue sauce
1 pound ground beef
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
Additional hickory smoke-flavored barbecue sauce, optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 °. In a large bowl, combine stuffing mix, water and 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Press 1/3 cup mixture into each of 12 ungreased muffin cups.
Bake, uncovered, 18-22 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160 °. Sprinkle tops with cheese; bake 2-4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. If desired, serve with additional barbecue sauce.
Freeze option: Cover and freeze cooled meat loaves on a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet until firm. Transfer meat loaves to a resealable plastic freezer bag; return to freezer. To use, partially thaw in refrigerator overnight. Place meat loaves on a greased shallow baking pan. Bake in a preheated 350 ° oven until heated through. Top with cheese as directed.
