Mini BBQ Meatloaves
Quick and easy comfort food that we would whip up with mashed potatos and corn on a frenzied evening.
• 1 box stuffing mix
• 2 lbs ground beef
• 1 c water
• salt and pepper
• garlic powder
• BBQ sauce
• shredded cheese of choice
• Mix the stuffing, water, and seasonings into the ground beef. Fill greased muffin tin with the beef mixture. Press down in the middle of each to form a well. Pour BBQ sauce into each well. Bake at 350° for 35-40 min. The last 5 min of baking sprinkle with desired cheese and allow to melt.
Variations to this recipe that we have also enjoyed are:
• 1) Add Italian seasoning and spaghetti sauce in place of the garlic powder and BBQ sauce. Top with mozzarella cheese.
• 2) Add chili powder and salsa in place of the garlic powder and BBQ sauce. Top with shredded mexican or taco blend cheeses.
