How to Make Meaty Muffin Loaves

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard.
  3. Remove 1/2 cup of the ketchup mixture and set aside for topping.
  4. Add 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 cup crushed cornflakes cereal (or breadcrumbs), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to the remaining ketchup mixture.
  5. Mix well to combine.
  6. Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes.
  7. Crumble 1.5 lbs ground beef (or a combination of beef and pork) over the cereal mixture and gently mix until just combined. (Optional: Add 1/2 cup grated carrots or zucchini).
  8. Press the meat mixture evenly into 18 greased muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  10. Drizzle the reserved ketchup mixture evenly over the muffin loaves.
  11. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink and a meat thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
