I was trying to come up with an idea for something quick and easy and thanks to myrecipes.com, I was able to find this sweet-and-sour muffin meat loaves recipe that was really, really good! (and definitely quick and easy, as well!)
Ingredients
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 pounds ground beef, chuck or sirloin (I used 1 pound of ground beef)
1 egg
1 onion, finely chopped (I used 2 heaping tablespoons of minced onion)
1/2 cup bread crumbs (I used a little bit more. You can judge your texture and adjust accordingly)
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Mix 1/2 cup ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar in a small bowl.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, onion, bread crumbs and remaining 1/2 cup ketchup; season with salt and pepper. Combine ingredients well.
Place 2 1/2 tsp. ketchup mixture in bottoms of prepared muffin wells. Form meat mixture into 12 equal balls and place in muffin tin, pressing down to smooth top of meat.
Cook meat loaves until no longer pink and juices bubble around edges; about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit in pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing. Serve with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables, if desired.
Enjoy!
