How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Muffins
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 2 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup yellow mustard, and 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon bits.
- Mix thoroughly until just combined. Add more breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup at a time, if the mixture seems too wet.
- Spoon the meat mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup mustard, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar.
- Spoon the ketchup mixture evenly over the meatloaf muffins.
- Place the muffin tin on a baking sheet for stability.
- Bake for 35 minutes.
- During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle 1/2 cup French fried onions evenly over the top. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
