Cindy’s Chili Meat Loaf Muffins


This is my absolute favorite recipe for meatloaf. It is sooooo good! I serve it with "chip salad" or just a regular salad with fat-free Catalina dressing.
 
 

Ingredients:

·         1 lb. ground beef lean
·         3/4 c. rotel ( canned diced tomatoes & green chilis)
·         1 tsp. chili powder
·         14 oz. can black beans; drained & rinsed shopping list
·         1/2 c. cheddar/jack shredded cheese
·         1/2 tsp. salt
·         1/4 tsp. black pepper

Preparation:

1.       In bowl, break up beef with a fork. Mix in 1/4 c. of the Rotel, chili powder, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Divide into 8 portions. Place in muffin cups.

2.       Press center of each to form a well 3/4 in. deep and 1 1/2 in. wide.

3.       Bake in 400 degree F oven for 10 minutes or until firm to the touch and no longer pink.

4.       Combine beans and remaining Rotel. Spoon into wells.

5.       Sprinkle with cheese.

6.       Bake for 7-8 min. or until beans are hot and cheese has melted.

7.       Using two forks, remove from muffin cups.

Happy Cooking
