Ingredients

  • A sprinkle of vegetable oil, or as much as desired, to enhance the flavors.
  • For the savory sauce:
  • A generous portion of ketchup
  • A hint of Dijon mustard
  • A touch of brown sugar
  • A splash of Worcestershire sauce
  • For the tantalizing meatloaf:
  • A substantial amount of ground beef
  • A couple of cups of milk
  • A handful of shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (like Sargento® Off the Block)
  • A handful and a half of bread crumbs
  • A duo of beaten eggs
  • A packet of dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton®)
  • A sprinkle of chili powder
  • A hint of paprika
  • A handful of shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (like Sargento® Off the Block), to your liking

Step 1

Preheat your oven to a toasty 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and prepare 24 muffin cups by giving them a light brushing of vegetable oil or lining them with cute paper liners for easy cleanup later on.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the flavors of ketchup, tangy Dijon mustard, rich brown sugar, and zesty Worcestershire sauce until the sugar melts into the mix. Cover the bowl with a snug wrap of plastic and let the sauce chill in the fridge for around 30 minutes to marry the flavors beautifully.

Step 3

Now, in a large bowl, blend together the ground beef, milky goodness, a generous portion of Cheddar cheese, bread crumbs for texture, eggs for binding, onion soup mix for depth, a sprinkle of chili powder for a kick, and a dash of paprika for some color. Ensure the mixture is well combined and then gently fill each muffin cup with the meaty goodness, pressing down to eliminate any pesky air bubbles.

Step 4

Pop the muffin pans into the preheated oven and let them bake for 15 minutes. Once done, generously slather the chilled sauce over each meatloaf 'cupcake' before returning them to the oven for an additional 15 minutes or until the centers are no longer blushing pink. To double-check, an instant-read thermometer should register a cozy 160 degrees F (70 degrees C) at the center.

Step 5

As a final touch, sprinkle a bit more Cheddar cheese over the savory 'cupcakes' and allow them to cool for a relaxing 10 minutes before diving in. Your taste buds will thank you!

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your savory meat cupcakes in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent any odors from seeping out.
  2. 2. If you're short on space, consider using a tiered cupcake stand to display and store your savory treats in an organized and visually appealing manner.
