Mini Meatloaves

1 lb. lean ground beef
1 pkg. (6 oz) Stove Top stuffing mix
1 cup water

Preheat oven to 375F. Mix meat, stuffing and water and desired seasonings (salt, pepper, italian seasoning, oregano, chilli powder). Press evenly into 12 medium muffin cups (sprayed with cooking spray); make an indentation into the top of each with the back of a spoon. Spoon add-ins evenly into indentations (salsa, bbq sauce, spaghetti sauce, etc.)

Bake for 30 minutes or until meatloaves are cooked through (160 F). Top evenly with desired cheese (mexican cheese mix, cheddar, feta, mozza) and bake another 5 minutes or until cheese is melted. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

I make these bad boys a few batches at a time; let them cool completely and then pop them in the freezer. They are then very handy for taking a meal's worth out, allowing to thaw and pop in the microwave or oven to warm up for a quick and hasty supper. Serve with a baked potato (they are quick in the microwave as well) or Lipton's Noodles and Sauce and some veggies.

Voila! A home cooked meal in minutes on those busy nights-like our "School Week" weeks.
