Marvelous Mini Meatloaves



They're yummy, and easy. What else could you ask for? :)
I've only tried the 1st variation.

Marvelous Mini Meatloaves

Take 1 lb. extra-lean ground beef, 1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix and 1 cup water and mix & match your recipe from these options...

1 tsp. Italian seasoning
spaghetti sauce
KRAFT Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

2 tsp. chili powder
TACO BELL® HOME ORIGINALS® Thick 'N Chunky Salsa
KRAFT Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese

1 tsp. dried oregano leaves
chopped roasted red peppers
ATHENOS Traditional Crumbled Feta Cheese

1 tsp. garlic powder
KRAFT or BULL'S-EYE Original Barbecue Sauce
KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Then follow our 3 simple steps:
HEAT oven to 375°F.

Mix meat, stuffing mix, water and seasoning until well blended. Press into 12 muffin cups sprayed with cooking spray.

MAKE indentation in center of each with back of spoon; fill evenly with 3/4 cup add-ins.

BAKE 30 min. or until meatloaves are done (160°F). Top evenly with 3/4 cup cheese; bake 5 min. or until melted. Let stand 10 min.

Make Ahead
Bake meatloaves as directed. Remove from muffin cups; cool completely. Place in single layer on baking sheet; freeze 1 hour. Transfer to airtight container. Store in freezer up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator, then reheat in 375°F oven 20 min. or until heated through.

Special Extra
For a little kick, add 2 Tbsp. A.1. Original Steak Sauce to meat mixture before pressing into muffin cups as directed.
