    Too funny! I was deciding between trying out a new recipe from my Biggest Loser cookbook or making these. My kids decided it was the meatloaf muffins tonight, I'l try out something new tomorrow! :wink: (and I'll post if they're any good!)

    They turned out great again! I changed it a little again...

    1 teaspoon olive oil <I omitted>
    1 cup finely chopped onion
    1/2 cup finely chopped carrot <I omitted>
    1 teaspoon dried oregano
    2 garlic cloves, minced <I used 2T. minced garlic>
    1 cup ketchup, divided <I used an 8oz can of Hunts tomato sauce, basil oregano flavor, and then topped w/ some organic ketcup>
    1 1/2 pounds ground beef, extra lean (raw) <I used 2#, 1 pound of beef, 1 pound of venison>
    1 cup finely crushed fat-free saltine crackers (about 20) <I used 1 c. old fashioned oats>
    2 tablespoons prepared mustard
    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper <I also added some garlic & onion powder>
    2 large eggs <I just used 1>
    Cooking spray

    Here is what I figured out for nutritionals.

    160 cals, 6g fat, 6g carb, 1g fiber, 19g protein

    My kids gobbled them up again and want the leftovers for tomorrow night. :bigsmile:

    I love that these are such a hit! LOL! Especially with the kids!

    Your changes seem to be good ones. I imagine you could switch these up a variety of ways.

    Thanks for the idea!! I never would have thought of making muffins and I'm glad my kids love them so much! :bigsmile: I've tried making meatloaf before but they would never try it! :grumble:
