KEY INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS
- ●3 pounds lean ground beef
- ●1 can (12 fluid ounces) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
- ●2 large eggs
- ●1/2 cup ketchup
- ●2 cups quick oats
- ●2 packets (1.25 ounces each) taco seasoning mix
- ●1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ●1 tablespoon dried parsley (optional)
- ●Shredded lettuce, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped tomatoes (optional)
MAKE IT
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Step 2
Combine ground beef, evaporated milk, eggs, ketchup, quick oats, taco seasoning, black pepper and parsley in large bowl until just mixed. Divide meat mixture into 20 ungreased muffin cups; mound tops slightly.
Step 3
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until no longer pink in center. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from muffin cups.
Step 4
Serve half the meatloaf muffins over lettuce, cheese and tomatoes, if desired. Makes enough for two 5-serving meals or 20 muffins.
RECIPE NOTES
• Freeze half the meatloaf muffins for another meal. Wrap each in freezer wrap; freeze. To reheat, microwave unwrapped frozen meatloaf muffin on HIGH (100% power) for 2 minutes. If thawed, microwave for 1 minute. • Meat Loaf mixture can be divided into two ungreased 8 x 4-inch loaf pans instead of muffin cups. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until no longer pink in center. • Serve taco sauce along with the muffins. • For a more “comfort food” type meal, serve with mashed potatoes. Slice and serve on a dinner roll or wrapped in a flour tortilla. These are quite portable, great for school lunches along with a packet of ketchup.
