Meatloaf with Maple Syrup Topping
I like baking my meatloaf in muffin tins now. I mix up the meat, divide between muffin cups, and only bake as many as I want that neat for dinner, freezing the rest for another night.
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 onion, minced, or 1 Tbs dried onion flakes
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/8 cup (or maybe more?!) Worcestershire sauce
- dash of salt and pepper
- 1/4 - 1/2 cup bread crumbs or crushed Ritz crackers or oatmeal
Mix it all together--but don't overmix. Divide between 6 muffin tins (sprayed or oiled)
Meatloaf Topping:
- 1/8 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup ketchup
Spread a bit of the topping on each and save the rest to serve at the table.
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until done.
Note: If you're a 2 pound meatloaf kind of person, double this and bake in a loaf pan for an hour. You might delay putting the maple syrup and ketchup topping on until after the first 30 minutes.
