How to cook deliciously - Meat Loaf Muffins

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together the egg, bread crumbs, onion, green pepper and barbecue sauce. Add the beef, and stir together until just mixed. Press about 1/3 cupful into each of the 12 greased muffin cups. Editor's Tip: Be careful not to overmix the meat mixture, as doing so could result in a tough meat loaf.

2. Stage

Bake for 15 minutes. Brush the tops of the loaves with ketchup. Continue baking until a thermometer inserted into the thickest portion of each loaf reads 160°, five to seven minutes. If desired, serve with additional ketchup. Editor's Tip: To prevent any grease from overflowing onto the floor of the oven, set the muffin tin on top of a rimmed baking sheet. To gauge the temperature of the loaves, an instant-read thermometer is a kitchen must-have. Here are some picks for best meat thermometers in our Test Kitchens.
