Mixed Vegetable Meatloaf Muffins

Ingredients:

Makes: about 18 muffins

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 cup Quaker Old-Fashioned or Fast Cooking Oats (uncooked)
• 1 cup ketchup
• 10 oz. frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp. Salt (optional)
• 1/4 tsp. Pepper (optional)
• Optional: More ketchup for the topping

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Combine ground beef, oats, ketchup, mixed vegetables, salt, pepper and egg in a medium sized bowl and mix well. I use my stand mixer to make the job even easier.
3. Press meatloaf mixture into muffin cups until filled.
4.  Bake meatloaf muffins for 30 minutes or until meat is done in the center.
5. ***Optional Ketchup Topping Directions: After the meatloaf muffins have baked for 20 minutes, take them out of the oven and top with a squirt of ketchup. Return to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until meat is done in the center.
