Meatloaf Cupcakes

I feel sorry for my Mom sometimes when I think back about my eating habits when I was growing up   I was a terrible picky eating... okay not was but am. I'me getting better though. Meatloaf was something that I would eat, but I was never really crazy about it. I would pick around the tomatoes and other vegetables.

I am eating better now though and love eating meatloaf.

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of Ground Meat
• 1 Onion (or half of a large onion)
• 1/2 of a Bell Pepper (I used an orange one)
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup of Bread Crumbs

• 1/2 cup BBQ Sauce

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. Cook 5 slices of bacon on the stove then set aside (being careful not to burn or over cook them).
3. While you're cooking your bacon dice up both your onion and your bell pepper.
4. After you have dice up the onions and bell peppers sauté with olive oil for about 10 mins
5. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except for the bacon.
6. In an un-greased muffin pan scoop in meatloaf until about 3/4 full. Press you meal oaf down a little in the center to prevent from bubbling up to much.
7. Cut your bacon into slices about an 1 inch long and then lay them on top of the meatloaf muffins.
8. Cook in oven for about 15-20 minutes or until meat reaches 160 degrees.
