Meatloaf Cups


  • 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of hamburger meat

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 c. of bread crumbs (I like to use Italian seasoned bread crumbs) You can also use crushed crackers or even oats

  • 1/2 of a small can tomato sauce (I actually used tomato soup concentrate last time and it worked fine)

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1 T Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 t. salt

  • 1/2 t. ground mustard

  • 1/4 t. pepper

  • 1 clove garlic, chopped or pressed

  • 1 small onion (1/4 c.), if I don't have this, I used dehydrated chopped onions you can buy in the spice aisle, (omit if you use Lipton onion soup mix unless you like lots of onions)

  • Lipton onion soup mix

Mix all items in large bowl (I like to use my hands, it's easier), then scoop the meat with a large scoop into a muffin pan, just dividing the mixture evenly between the 12 cups. Brush the tops of the cups with the remaining tomato sauce or just ketchup. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes. You can also put this into a regular sized loaf pan and cook for 1 hour, or just form a loaf shape onto a regular pan with sides and cook for an hour.


This is a mixture of 2 different meatloaf recipes so sometimes I just use what I have or just toss in a little of this and a little of that. I dont usually measure on this recipe because it's not going to make a big difference. Just put lots of flavor into it and don't skip the bread crumbs or milk and it will be great!

Cinnamelts

Cinnamelts
1 roll of Grands Flaky Layer Biscuits (10 piece)
2/3 C sugar
5 tsp cinnamon
1/3 C melted butter

Icing:
powdered sugar
1 tbsp melted butter
milk

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a loaf pan. Cut each biscuit in quarters. Stir cinnamon and sugar together in medium bowl. Dip biscuit in butter, then roll in cinnamon sugar. Then place biscuits in the loaf pan. If you are a butter fan, pour remaining butter over the top of the biscuits before putting the pan in the oven. Cook for 20-30 min depending on what kind of pan you used. I cooked it for 30 in my stoneware pan, but it may be less for a metal pan.
To make icing, mix sugar, butter and milk together until you reach a glaze consistency.
I poured the icing on everyone's portion of cinnamelt once it was on their plate. It was much easier to keep the leftovers that way. :)

Sweet Salad from the party...

Rinse, dry, and chop one bunch of red leaf lettuce or whatever lettuce you prefer....I don't think iceberg would be very good though...
Add some Craisins and Walnuts...however many you want...
Chop one apple cut into small pieces...I use gala or fiji.
Toss with Raspberry Vinagerrette. I used Kraft brand Light at the party.

Super easy!
