Pizza Meat Loaf Cups are the beginning of our freezer stocking. Audrey loves to make anything using the muffin tins so I knew this would be fun. She mostly wants to put the finished product in the tins and does not like to stir. We found this recipe in a Taste of Home freezer meal book. I really like Taste of Home stuff.
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 lbs ground meat
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
In a large bowl combine the egg, sauce, bread crumbs, seasoning, and meat and mix well. Divide among 12 muffin cups. Press up sides and fill center with cheese. Bake at 375°F for 15-18 minutes or until meat is no longer pink. Serve with additional sauce or cool and freeze up to 3 months. If cooking from frozen let thaw in the refrigerator overnight and heat in microwave 2-3 minutes.
Audrey's Tasks:
- Crack eggs
- Add ingredients and mix
- Put mix in muffin tins
- Help grate cheese
- Place cheese on pizza cups
Mom's Tasks:
- Gather ingredients
- Help mix
- Help grate cheese
- Place tin in oven
These are for later so we will not know the verdict on how well Audrey likes them today. I can tell you that they look really good. Here she is fixing them:
I love that she helps with the cooking. JDaniel licks the dip off too. I think I am going to do a tin of all the ways he doesn't use good table manners.
