Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ½ cup cooked white rice, cooled
  • ½ cup finely diced green bell pepper
  • ¼ cup finely diced yellow onion
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup tomato sauce, divided
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease 8 cups of a standard muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, cooked rice, diced bell pepper, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and ¼ cup of the tomato sauce. Mix gently until combined. Avoid overmixing so the muffins stay tender.
  • Divide the mixture evenly among the 8 prepared muffin cups. Press it in lightly, leaving the tops rounded rather than packing the mixture tightly.
  • Stir the ketchup into the remaining ½ cup tomato sauce. Spoon a little over each meatloaf muffin, spreading it across the top.
  • Bake until the muffins are cooked through and the centers reach 160°F, about 25 to 30 minutes. Let them rest in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing and serving.

merknader

Dice the bell pepper and onion finely so they soften as the muffins bake, and cool the rice before mixing it into the beef. For a make-ahead dinner, shape the muffins in the pan, cover, and refrigerate before baking. Serve them with the remaining tomato sauce warmed on the side if you like extra sauce.
