Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf Muffins

Description: I found this on the Tasty Kitchen website while I was trying to find something to make for dinner. I changed a TON of things from the original because the first time I made it, I baked the muffing until they were burnt on top, but they never cooked on the inside. I added more breadcrumbs and subtracted some of the moist ingredients to get this recipe turned into something not quite so disappointed (but at least the cooked tops tasted good!).

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef or 2 lbs lean ground turkey
• 2 whole eggs, beaten or 1/2 cup egg white
• 3/4-1 cup breadcrumbs or 3/4-1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise (or 1/2 c low-fat mayo)
• 1/8 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese or 1 cup low-fat cheddar cheese
• 1 cup ketchup, Divided
• 1/2 cup yellow mustard, Divided
• 1 (3 ounce) package bacon bits
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 cup French-fried onions

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Spray a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
3. In a large bowl, combine meat with eggs, bread crumbs, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, cheese, 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup mustard, bacon bits. Mix well. (I use my hands to mix the ingredients.) *ADD MORE BREAD CRUMBS IF IT SEEMS RUNNY*.
4. Spoon into prepared muffin tin.
5. Mix the remaining 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup mustard, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
6. Spoon and spread over the top of the meatloaf muffins.
7. Place muffin tin on a baking sheet, and bake for 40 minutes.
8. Five minutes before they are done, add French fried onions, watching to make sure the onions don’t burn.
