    Found the recipe on Cooking Light, made even lighter by using only one lb of extra lean ground beef and egg whites only.

    Cooking spray
    1 cup finely chopped onion
    1/2 cup finely chopped carrot
    1 tsp oregano
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    1 cup ketchup, divided
    1 lb extra lean ground beef (original recipe calls for 1 and 1/2 lb)
    1 cup finely crushed fat free saltine crackers (about 20)
    2 tbsp prepared mustard
    1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
    1/4 tsp ground black pepper
    6 tbsp egg whites only (original recipe calls for 2 large eggs)

    Preheat oven to 350.

    Heat a nonstick skillet with a little bit of cooking spray over med-high heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, dried oregano, and minced garlic. Sauté 2 minutes. Cool.

    Combine onion mixture, 1/2 cup ketchup, and the remaining ingredients in a large bowl.

    Spoon the meat mixture into 12 muffin cups coated with cooking spray. Top each with 2 tsp ketchup. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or until a thermometer registers 160. Let stand 5 minutes.

    Each serving is 2 muffins. Original recipe was 276 calories, 8.6g fat, 28.7g protein
    My version is 176 calories, 3g fat, 10g protein

    Please remember to use a tiny square of aluminum foil to make cleanup easier and keep the muffins together a little more. I usually do, but this time I forgot. :/
    Looks like a simply tasty recipe, I've got a some what simpler one made with ground white turkey breast. I might combine yours and mine and see what happens. Thanks:happy:

    Don't forget the icing :) I like to use a cauliflower carrot mash on top for a serving of veggies :)
    fun idea
    Why would you rather have 10g of protein than 28 g?
    Some prefer a healthier protein over pink slime any day. Organic white turkey breast sounds much healthier to me. But to each his own, plus some don't eat red meat. How's that for a reason..:tongue:

    I'd like to give this a try as well. I'm fairly amateur at the whole cooking thing though so does this generally get served with anything else as a side dish? If so, any ideas, or is this a stand alone meal?

    Thanks for sharing!
