Mini Meatloaves - 3 Versions

PREP: 10 Minutes
TOTAL: 45 Minutes
Makes 6-8 servings, 2 meatloaves each

What you need:
1 lb extra lean ground beef
1 pkg (6 oz) Stove Top Stuffing Mix (I used the chicken flavor)
1 cup water
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Make It:
HEAT oven to 375 degrees. Mix meat, stuffing mix, water and add-in (see options below). Press into 12 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray.
MAKE an indentation in center of each meatloaf with spoon, fill with sauce (see options below).
BAKE 30 min or until cooked through (160 degrees). Top with cheese, continue baking 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

OPTION 1: American Style
ADD-IN - 1 tsp garlic powder
SAUCE - 3/4 cup barbeque sauce

OPTION 2: Italian Style
ADD-IN - 1 tsp Italian seasoning
SAUCE - 3/4 cup spaghetti sauce

OPTION 3: Mexican Style

(KRAFT Food & Family Magazine, Fall 2008 - I recently made this for our family using the American Style add-ins and sauce and it was so yummy! Chris actually said it was really good and that I needed to make it again. Even the leftovers heated up well and were gone the next day!)
