Grassfed Mini Meatloaf Muffins

I've never made meatloaf before (even the not-so-healthy kind), so I was a little worried about how this would turn out. I just knew I needed to get the pound of grassfed beef in my fridge cooked! I was in the mood for something different... so I took inventory of my fridge and threw together this little recipe. I was surprised at how good it turned out. Definitely one I'll make again!

Yields 12 meatloaf muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 pound grass fed beef
  
• 1 egg, beaten
  
• 1/2 white onion, chopped
  
• 1/2 c. organic kale leaves, chopped
  
• 1/3 c. crumbled goat cheese
  
• 1/3 c. flax meal
  
• 3-4 tbsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos (feel free to substitute Worcestershire's Sauce or other sauce... maybe salsa or spaghetti sauce?)
  

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit
• Grease muffin pan with coconut oil
• Add all ingredients to mixing bowl
• Mix well using hands (yikes! Not my favorite thing to do but it works very well to get all the ingredients mixed together)
• Use ice cream scoop to spoon meat into muffin pan. Pack lightly.
• Bake in oven for 40-50 minutes or until meat is thoroughly cooked.
• Remove from oven.  Allow to cool. 
• Pop meatloaf muffins out of pan and enjoy! 

Optional: Dip in organic ketchup. :)
